About Nancy

Nancy Elliot is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 30 years of clinical experience, she brings a calm, compassionate presence to work alongside clients facing grief, addiction concerns, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, and challenges with self-esteem. Nancy blends goal-oriented strategies with a person-centered stance to support practical change while honoring each client’s lived experience.

Her work often includes helping clients repair communication patterns, address family of origin issues, and cope with major life events such as caregiving responsibilities, aging concerns, divorce, and illness. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking, and integrates acceptance-based and mindfulness approaches to foster emotional flexibility.

Clients can expect an emphasis on building skills for distress tolerance, clearer communication, and renewed purpose as they move through difficult transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Nancy blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based and client-centered work to help clients address difficult thoughts and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change behaviors and reduce distress; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking values-guided actions to build a meaningful life, which often helps with chronic worry, life transitions, and low motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a collaborative pace that helps people feel understood and supported while exploring personal goals.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Nancy works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits their needs and preferences. She adapts interventions to reflect a client’s goals, readiness for change, and daily life, helping them trial strategies and adjust as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent support around work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured CBT exercises, ACT-based values work, and empathic client-centered conversations in ways that fit into clients’ routines and promote steady progress.
