Online support

Approaches and how they work online

Jungian therapy invites clients to pay attention to dreams, symbols, and life stories to discover deeper meaning. It can help when people want to understand repeating patterns, identity questions, or creative blocks.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings are present. It is useful for coping with anxiety, loss, or major life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and a nonjudgmental space so people can find their own pace and insight; it helps when someone needs steady support while making changes.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Nancy will work collaboratively to decide which ideas and exercises fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That process may mix elements from different approaches and shift over time as goals change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible and accessible. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from home, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping the focus on steady progress.
