About Nancy

Nancy Truett is an LPC with 23 years of counseling experience in Tennessee. She practices with a focus on trauma, relationships, addiction, and emotional difficulties. Nancy draws on a long history in agency, school, and residential settings to help people facing acute stress and life changes.

She uses practical, straightforward work in sessions. That can mean talking through relationship patterns, addressing jealousy and trust concerns, or building steps to manage anxiety and mood. She often brings arts-based ideas into counseling, using creative exercises when they help a person make sense of feelings.

Nancy has spent much of her career helping people affected by abuse and trauma. She combines trauma-focused methods with approaches that encourage clients to tell and reframe their life stories. Her background includes work with adolescents and adults in residential and educational settings, and leadership in college counseling services.

Her training and ongoing doctoral studies inform a measured, research-aware style. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to the person’s history and strengths. She aims to help people find clearer choices and healthier patterns.

People who reach out often want help with relationship challenges, addiction, parenting strain, grief, or career stress. Nancy supports work on emotions like shame, anger, and jealousy, and helps people rebuild confidence and steady routines.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the person's concerns and helps them find their own solutions, which can be useful for relationship or self-esteem issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made or new needs emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, or schedule shorter check-ins on a workday. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these conveniences to keep momentum between appointments and to practice new skills in real time.
