About Nancy

Nancy Busch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of practice in behavioral health. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, depression, and major life changes. Nancy aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward.

Her work is grounded in a client-centered approach. That means sessions start with building trust and listening to what matters most. She uses that foundation to shape practical steps that match each person's needs.

Background and approach

Nancy blends cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused and trauma-focused methods. She helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, try small changes, and practice new ways of coping. When trauma or panic symptoms are involved, she emphasizes pacing and tangible strategies to reduce distress.

Her background includes inpatient psychiatric care, community mental health, and work on military bases in the U.S. and abroad. That experience informs her understanding of first responder and veteran-related concerns without assuming a single approach fits everyone. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented.

Nancy works with people to set clear, achievable goals and checks progress along the way. The overall aim is to restore daily functioning, improve relationships, and rebuild confidence. If someone is unsure where to begin, Nancy helps map a straightforward plan and adjusts it over time.

She encourages steady steps and practical tools to make ongoing change more likely.

Approaches Nancy names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful relationship and listening first. In an online session this means the therapist spends early time understanding daily struggles, priorities, and what the client hopes to change so goals are clear from the start.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments. Online CBT often uses short homework, thought records, and practical steps that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms.

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on pacing and practical skills to manage strong reactions. The therapist works with the client to create safety plans, grounding techniques, and gradual processing steps that fit the client’s readiness.

Nancy treats finding the right approach as a joint decision. She will discuss options, try methods, and adjust based on what the client finds useful. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that meets goals and comfort levels.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat options work well for quick check-ins or ongoing support between visits. These options give flexibility for scheduling, shorter weekly touchpoints, or deeper weekly sessions depending on what the client needs.
