Nancy Busch

Nancy Busch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in behavioral health. She uses a client-centered approach and focuses on building a respectful, supportive relationship so people feel heard from the start. Nancy works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, relationship strain, and major life changes.

Her background includes work in inpatient psychiatric settings, community mental health, and on military bases both in the United States and abroad. She has experience supporting active duty and retired service members and first responders, and has worked with people affected by post-traumatic stress and panic attacks. This range of settings informs how she adapts care to different life circumstances.

Nancy combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods, and uses Trauma-Focused approaches when trauma is part of the concern. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs rather than using one fixed method. Sessions are collaborative and respectful, with goals shaped by the person in therapy.

Practical work in sessions can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, developing coping strategies for stress and panic, practicing communication skills, and creating short-term steps toward specific goals. Nancy emphasizes dignity and a down-to-earth style when helping people navigate difficult transitions.

She encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed by life changes or persistent distress to take a first step. The therapist aims to guide and support people as they work toward clearer goals and steadier daily functioning.

How Nancy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and responding to what matters most to the person in front of her. In practice this means Nancy spends time understanding a person's priorities and adjusting conversation and pace to match. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, panic, low mood, and stress by using step-by-step strategies and homework between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the impact of traumatic events through targeted techniques that help people feel more able to manage triggers and distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy treats the choice of method as collaborative and will discuss which tools fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She may blend styles so sessions stay focused and useful rather than rigidly following one model.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing brief check-ins, and letting people choose times that match their daily schedule. It also supports working on skills between meetings and keeps momentum when life gets busy. If desired, scheduling is done after completing the matching questionnaire and selecting times that work with the therapist's availability.
