Nancy Elliot, LPC

Nancy Elliot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with thirty years of clinical experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, and those dealing with relationship strain, grief, addiction, or major life transitions. Her style is compassionate and faith-informed, and she aims to help clients find clearer direction and more manageable daily routines.

She focuses on practical steps that can ease strong emotions and restore a sense of control. Sessions often include talking through patterns that keep stress high, building small habits that reduce anxiety, and practicing new ways to communicate with others. Nancy works with people coping with trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Nancy draws on several therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practices. She uses these tools to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try out different responses, and commit to values-based action. She also brings client-centered listening to make space for each person’s story.

Her practice recognizes the practical pressures of midlife and aging, blended families, caregiver stress, and serious medical challenges like cancer. Nancy helps people navigate divorce, separation, and family-of-origin wounds while supporting clearer communication and healthier boundaries.

Clients can expect goal-focused sessions that aim to turn painful experiences into manageable next steps. The work is collaborative, with attention to building skills clients can use between meetings.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that increase distress and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms. It is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the nervous system and reduce reactivity to stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nancy will work with each person to see which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they decide whether to emphasize values work, skills training, or mindful practices based on what feels most useful.

Please confirm the available session options before booking so you know the exact format offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday settings and bring real-life concerns directly into sessions for timely problem solving.
