About Nancy

Nancy Elliot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, or major life changes. Her approach is practical and compassionate, and she aims to help clients find clearer direction and steadier coping in daily life.

She uses a faith-informed stance alongside proven therapeutic methods. Sessions often involve straightforward conversations about what feels hardest now, and steps clients can try between meetings. Nancy pays attention to communication patterns, self-worth struggles, and behaviors that keep people stuck, and she helps clients practice new ways of handling those moments.

Her background includes long experience supporting recovery after trauma, addressing addictions and compassion fatigue, and helping people through caregiving stress or illness-related challenges. She also works with concerns like abandonment, family-of-origin issues, commitment questions, and forgiveness. This experience informs a focused, practical style that centers the client’s goals.

Nancy blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral ideas, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, client-centered listening, and mindfulness practices. Together these approaches provide tools for managing emotions, changing unhelpful thoughts, and building valued action. She invites clients to set clear, achievable goals and to track small changes over time.

Sessions are offered in English and are based in Texas. Prospective clients are asked to follow the site’s process to begin the matching and scheduling steps.

How her therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, loss, and decisions about change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting thought patterns and behaviors that drive distress, which can help with depression and anxiety symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches paying attention to the present moment without judgment, giving tools to manage strong emotions and reactive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays aligned with what’s helping.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use techniques learned in session in their everyday settings, which supports practicing new skills between meetings.
