Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people who are dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment challenges, trauma, or difficulties with intimacy by exploring relational dynamics and strengthening emotional bonds. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and respect for each person’s experience, creating space for self-discovery and growth; it is especially useful for concerns like self-esteem, life adjustments, and family or relationship stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.



Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Nancy works with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains responsive and relevant.



Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments. For many people, remote sessions support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, effective support without the need for travel.
