About Nancy
Nancy Busch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in behavioral health. She focuses on building a trusting therapeutic connection and meeting people where they are.
Background and approach
Her work centers on practical steps to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. Nancy has practiced in hospitals, community mental health settings, and on military bases both in the United States and overseas.
She has experience supporting active duty and retired service members as well as first responders. Much of her work addresses trauma, post-traumatic stress, panic, and the fallout of high-stress jobs.
Her approach is client-centered, which means she shapes sessions around each person’s needs and goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and solution-focused strategies to set clear, manageable steps forward.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect daily life. Nancy helps people work on relationships, communication problems, grief, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes.
She aims for straightforward conversations and practical tools that fit into busy lives. Expect collaboration on goals and a plan that evolves with progress.
People often choose her for support with compassion fatigue, anger, and the ongoing effects of traumatic experiences. She prioritizes respect and dignity throughout the process and offers guidance rooted in real-world experience.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Nancy uses the Gottman Method to guide conversations about relationship patterns and communication. This approach focuses on specific behaviors and skills that help people improve how they talk and solve problems together. It can be useful when communication problems and recurring conflicts are central concerns.Nancy also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and shaping sessions around each person’s needs. This approach helps people feel heard and supports exploration of goals at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping strategies for anxiety, panic, and depression.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Nancy will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust plans over time based on progress and feedback.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, written reflections, or when scheduling quick support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care across distance.
