About Nancy
Nancy Dano is a New York LMHC with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, trauma, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.
She uses a practical, paced style that focuses on building a working relationship. Sessions move at the client's speed and focus on achievable goals. Nancy aims to help people notice patterns, try new ways of reacting, and practice skills between meetings.
Nancy draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about closeness, boundaries, and patterns that repeat in relationships.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help people notice bodily signals and reduce automatic reactivity. Her approach blends talking, skill coaching, and simple exercises people can use during the week. That mix is chosen to match what each person says they need.
She has experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and has worked with people dealing with trauma-informed concerns. Nancy works with issues such as ADHD, caregiving stress, codependency, body image, and a range of mood and adjustment problems. Her focus is on practical steps that reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.
How her methods translate to online sessions
Nancy combines cognitive behavioral work and dialectical behavior therapy skills in ways that adapt well to online conversations. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can be practiced during sessions and tried between meetings. DBT provides concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful for moments of high reactivity or anger.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at repeating patterns in relationships and help people set boundaries or change interaction habits. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try methods together to see what fits best for the person's needs and preferences.
The original biography did not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in real-world routines and bring those experiences back into sessions for review.
