Remote care methods and therapeutic focus
Nancy uses several evidence-informed approaches and offers remote options to connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is presented as a structured way to identify patterns of thought and behavior and to develop practical skills for managing symptoms that interfere with daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used to build emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance skills when overwhelming emotions or impulsive patterns are present.
Attachment-Based Therapy is described for exploring relational patterns that emerge from early and current relationships, helping to clarify how attachment needs and responses influence present-day interactions. Nancy frames her work as collaborative, inviting clients to participate in deciding which approach or combination of approaches best fits their preferences and goals.
Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, enabling therapy to proceed through different remote formats depending on client preference and what is clinically appropriate.
