About Nancy

Nancy Van Aman is a licensed clinical social worker based in Florida who draws on 35 years of professional experience to support people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, and significant life transitions.

Background and approach

She frames clients as the experts of their own stories and helps them access strengths and resources to address challenges such as low self-esteem, motivation concerns, or relationship difficulties. Her background includes work in coaching and executive coaching, which informs a practical, goal-oriented stance when appropriate.

Nancy uses a range of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational techniques, to tailor care to each person's needs. She offers compassionate guidance through issues like postpartum depression, panic attacks, caregiver stress, codependency, and midlife adjustment, while attending to emotional responses to loss and isolation.

Prospective clients are invited to take the initial step toward change; Nancy emphasizes collaboration and supports clients as they set and work toward meaningful goals.

Approach and convenience for online therapeutic work

Nancy integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood, and it is often used to build practical coping skills. EMDR addresses distress tied to upsetting memories by using structured processing techniques to lessen the emotional intensity of those experiences.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nancy works with each person to explore their goals, preferences, and the nature of their concerns, then tailors techniques accordingly. She emphasizes partnership so that therapy evolves as needs change and progress is reviewed together.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to continue work from home. These formats support ongoing access to therapeutic methods, allow for varied communication styles, and help people maintain momentum between sessions.
