How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and listening closely to each person's concerns. It helps people feel heard and helps set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, depression, or unhealthy patterns. It often involves short tools and homework between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used when trauma memories are part of the problem; it works through targeted processing of distressing memories and can reduce their intensity.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Nancy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense based on needs, goals, and comfort. She adapts techniques over time and checks in about progress so treatment stays aligned with what the person wants.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use methods like CBT worksheets or narrative writing between appointments to keep momentum between meetings.
