About Nancy
Nancy Van Aman helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience and she focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and build confidence. Nancy works with common struggles like anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
She also supports people dealing with relationship communication problems, caregiver stress, codependency, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation.
How Nancy works
Her approach includes coaching when clients want clear, goal-focused support. In sessions she treats clients as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. She uses straightforward tools to manage panic, mood changes, and social anxiety, combined with steps to improve daily routines and coping skills.
Conversations are aimed at concrete change rather than jargon. Nancy also brings experience addressing pregnancy and childbirth concerns, postpartum depression, and trauma-related symptoms. She uses techniques that help process painful memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life.
Mindfulness and motivational strategies are woven into the work when they fit the person’s goals. Based in Florida, Nancy offers support for people facing midlife crisis, isolation and loneliness, guilt and shame, and problems tied to abandonment or loss. The focus is on practical progress and clearer next steps, paced to each person’s needs.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood issues, and social anxiety and gives clear skills to practice between sessions. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process distressing memories so they cause less intense reactions; it can be useful for trauma and post-traumatic stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve mood over time.Nancy treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and what feels most useful, then recommend options and try them together. That collaborative process helps make sure the tools fit the problem and the person’s preferences.
Online therapy with Nancy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible ways to connect. Video is useful for in-depth work and EMDR-style processing, while phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief coaching, timely support, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep regular appointments and to practice skills between sessions.
