Nancy Dano , LMHC

Nancy Dano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with ten years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports those coping with parenting challenges, ADHD, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood issues, and major life changes.

Nancy uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She focuses on building a working relationship and moves at each person's pace. Conversations center on specific goals and steps that feel doable in daily life. Sessions often include exercises that people can practice between meetings.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-centered approaches guide the tone, keeping the client's priorities in focus.

Nancy has experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That background informs how she approaches safety, pacing, and practical coping strategies. She combines skills-based techniques with supportive conversation to address both symptoms and underlying patterns.

People connect with Nancy for a calm, steady approach and an emphasis on clear steps forward. She offers sessions in English and is available to international clients. Appointments include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Nancy often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT offers concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and stress and is easy to practice between sessions using online tools and worksheets.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. That work focuses on understanding patterns and trying new ways of relating that can improve closeness and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Nancy works together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what feels manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support quick updates, skill practice, or people who prefer typed communication. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
