About Nancy

Nancy Bass brings a cognitive behavioral orientation to a long career in mental health, combining structured strategies with a respectful, person-focused stance.

Background and approach

With 40 years of professional experience and licenses as an LMHC and LPC, she supports people navigating depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life transitions. Her approach emphasizes practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior while honoring each client’s strengths and personal story.

She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and works collaboratively to build confidence, restore motivation, and address issues such as self-esteem, isolation, and substance concerns. Nancy also brings experience with aging and geriatric issues, intellectual disability, forgiveness work, finding life purpose, and women’s issues, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.

Her practice in Florida centers on helping individuals move toward a more fulfilling and happier life with respect, patience, and evidence-informed techniques.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care



Nancy uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for mood disorders, grief, and coping with major life changes. She also draws on client-centered therapy principles, providing empathic listening and collaboration so clients’ own goals and strengths guide the work. These approaches support both skill-building and personal exploration in a focused, understandable way.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Nancy works together with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative planning means treatment can evolve as goals change, helping clients try different tools and refine what works best for them.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can increase flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health concerns. These formats make it easier to maintain regular appointments, try brief coaching-style exchanges between sessions, and access care from home while still working with licensed professionals who tailor interventions to individual circumstances.
