About Nancy
Nancy Busch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in behavioral health. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and career or life transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, and panic symptoms.
Nancy has worked in inpatient psychiatric units, community mental health, and on military bases in the US and abroad. That background includes time supporting active duty and retired service members and first responders. Those settings shaped her practical approach to handling strong emotions and stressful situations.
Her practice is client-centered. Early sessions concentrate on understanding what matters most to the person and building a working relationship. Conversations are direct and focused on real-life problems rather than abstract theory.
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and develop different responses. Solution-focused strategies help set short-term goals and try practical steps that can be tested between sessions. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect daily life.
Sessions move at a steady, concrete pace. Nancy and each client set goals, try techniques in everyday situations, and adjust the plan based on what works. She says the work is collaborative and respects each person’s dignity and choices.
How Nancy uses therapy approaches online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a practical plan with the client. It involves understanding what is most important to the person and shaping sessions around those goals. This approach helps when anger or stress come from daily interactions or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It teaches concrete skills for noticing triggers, changing unhelpful thoughts, and trying different responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, and anger that shows up at work or home.
Trauma-focused methods address how past events continue to affect feelings and reactions now. These methods involve careful pacing, grounding techniques, and strategies to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories or reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods based on goals, symptoms, and what feels workable in day-to-day life. That means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
