How her approaches translate to online therapy
Nancy often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people manage anxiety, panic symptoms, and stress. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple, present-moment practices that can reduce reactivity and help with emotion regulation.She also uses client-centered principles, which prioritize listening and shaping sessions around each person's goals and pace. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and adjust techniques together over time.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Online sessions can make it simpler to check in during a lunch break or keep continuity when travel or weather would otherwise interrupt care. Confirm the available session formats before booking to know how appointments are delivered, and discuss timing and session length when you schedule so they fit your routine.
