About Nancy

Nancy Solow is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 27 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She has worked across a wide range of personal and interpersonal concerns, including grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem and depression, as well as trauma and issues related to adoption and foster care. Her background includes long-term work with families and individuals facing attachment disruptions, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics and post-traumatic stress.

Her therapeutic manner is strengths-based, warm and interactive, emphasizing compassionate listening and respect. Nancy draws from several well-established approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, and she adapts methods to fit each person’s needs.

She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when they suit a client's goals. Clients can expect a collaborative, flexible process focused on building understanding, increasing coping skills and exploring pathways toward greater self-love, restored relationships and clearer life purpose.

Nancy accepts sessions in English and offers multiple online session formats to accommodate different preferences and schedules.

Approach-driven care available remotely

Nancy often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts and building practical coping skills, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress and relationship patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding early relational patterns and how they shape current relationships, which can be useful for clients working through adoption or attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with clients to select and adapt methods based on their goals, life context and preferences, checking in as therapy unfolds to ensure the chosen strategies fit the client's needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow people to engage from their own locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and use shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful while keeping the focus on practical strategies and relational understanding.
