Nancy Elliot, LPC

Nancy Elliot is a licensed professional counselor with 30 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, addictions, and big life changes. Her style is practical and steady, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.

She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and mindfulness tools. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and practicing skills that reduce emotional overwhelm. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented so progress can be tracked.

Nancy draws on long experience supporting people through trauma, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and loss. She also helps with issues around communication, codependency, and boundaries. Her work includes coaching elements when clients want clear steps and plans.

The therapist emphasizes a respectful, client-centered stance. That means the person in the room sets the pace and priorities. Together they build practical strategies for coping, problem solving, and improving relationships.

Nancy works with people who want both empathy and structure. She uses tools from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to manage strong emotions and build resilience. Treatment is adapted to each person’s goals and life circumstances.

Practical approaches for online therapy and emotional coping

Nancy uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce stress and anxiety. CBT typically focuses on clear problems and concrete steps, which can be useful for mood, worry, and relationship patterns.

She also brings elements of acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify values and act on them even when difficult feelings remain. That approach pairs well with mindfulness practices she uses to steady attention and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Nancy works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options suit quick check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity when plans change.
