Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify patterns of thought and behavior and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms and making changes. Dialectical behavior therapy provides a structure for building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness therapy supports present-moment awareness and can be woven into sessions to enhance clients’ ability to notice and respond to internal experience.
Nancy emphasizes a collaborative fit: she develops treatment plans with clients, moves at their preferred pace, and uses a client centered approach to tailor sessions. The variety of communication options allows for flexible scheduling and continued contact between sessions when appropriate.
