Nancy brings 19 years of clinical experience and works as an LCPC in Illinois - the license is IL LCPC 180007459.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting a person to identify their own goals and strengths; it helps when someone needs a compassionate space to explore feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes learning practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and related concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and rework emotional responses in relationships and can be beneficial for intimacy and attachment-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will work with each client to determine which methods or combination of methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across different settings. These formats support ongoing skill practice, regular check-ins, and timely discussion of challenges as they arise, helping clients stay engaged with their therapeutic work.
