Nancy Huus, LCSW

Nancy Huus is a licensed clinical social worker in Montana with 13 years of experience. She focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. Nancy emphasizes practical steps that make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

She uses a blend of approaches that match the person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Sessions aim to translate thoughts and feelings into small, concrete changes.

Nancy centers the person's goals and respects their pace. Conversations cover skills for handling anxiety, ways to cope with loss, and strategies for rebuilding self-esteem. She encourages people to try techniques between sessions so progress carries into real life.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Nancy listens carefully and offers clear, practical options rather than jargon. She helps people notice patterns, make different choices, and track what actually changes.

Over time she supports people in managing life transitions and repairing difficult relationship patterns. That work can include addressing abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and family-of-origin concerns. The aim is to increase resilience and improve daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Nancy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and values-guided action so people can move toward what matters despite difficult feelings.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current responses. That approach helps when people struggle with trust, fear of abandonment, or repeating old relationship habits. Together, therapist and client decide which methods fit the situation and goals in a collaborative way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will check in about what feels useful and adjust methods over time. Clients are invited to try different tools and report back on which strategies help in real situations.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and do longer sessions, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, in-the-moment coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other daily responsibilities.
