About Nancy

Nancy Lucas is an LPC with a decade of clinical experience who works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, relationship concerns, grief, anger, and issues around self-esteem and career transitions.

Background and approach

She brings a warm, relaxed style and emphasizes collaboration as she helps clients explore patterns, improve communication, and pursue practical solutions for life changes. Nancy affirms sexual orientation, race, and culture as part of each person's uniqueness and approaches therapy without judgment.

Her background includes work across age groups and settings, including a full-time role supporting women involved with the legal system and prior experience with children, adolescents, couples, and adults.

Nancy combines Client-Centered principles with evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused work, and she integrates Internal Family Systems perspectives to help clients relate to different parts of themselves. Humor and compassion are part of her approach, and she encourages clients to move at a pace that fits their goals while offering flexibility to accommodate schedules.

Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Change

Nancy integrates Internal Family Systems to help people notice and understand the different parts of themselves, exploring internal conflicts and fostering self-leadership to address issues like trauma, anxiety, and patterns that recur in relationships. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's goals and perspectives guide the work, which is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is employed to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop concrete coping skills for mood symptoms, stress, and addictive patterns.

Nancy treats choosing the right approach as a collaborative process; she partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods over time so the work feels practical and personally meaningful. This shared decision-making helps tailor strategies whether the focus is symptom relief, relationship communication, or longer-term growth.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular care, fit sessions around work and caregiving responsibilities, and continue momentum between meetings while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional.
