About Nancy
Nancy Willis offers support for people feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by life changes. She helps with relationship concerns, family tension, self-esteem, and motivation. She also focuses on caregiver stress, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Nancy uses a conversational, down-to-earth style. Sessions aim to be a calm place to sort thoughts and notice patterns. She encourages clients to describe what matters to them and then tries techniques that fit their goals.
How Nancy works
Her approach draws from several therapy methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's voice and experience.
Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to calm the body and return attention when stress feels overwhelming. In session Nancy aims for practical steps people can try between meetings. She works with each person to set small, achievable goals.
Over time those small changes can ease anxiety and improve confidence. Nancy holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker. She has eight years of professional experience and practices in Michigan.
She welcomes people who prefer to work in English and is open to international clients.

Approaches for online work and practical care
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's own experience at the center. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and follows the client's pace and priorities. It is useful when someone needs a respectful space to sort feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors or ways of thinking. CBT often helps with anxiety, stress, and problems with motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans can change based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed during a break. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
