Online approaches and how they fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when life feels confusing or when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find patterns that keep problems going and then tries practical changes to break those patterns.

Nancy treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will work with clients to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video or phone sessions are offered. In general, online work can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. The therapist and client can choose approaches that work well in a remote setting, such as skills practice, focused exercises, or talking through relationship issues, depending on what the client needs.
