Nancy Elliot, LPC

Nancy Elliot is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience. She focuses on people facing midlife changes, stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at helping clients take next steps when life feels unsettled.

Nancy uses straightforward talk therapy combined with skills practice. Sessions often include identifying what matters most, improving communication, and creating small, doable changes. She also helps people cope with grief, addiction concerns, caregiver stress, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.

Her background spans three decades of clinical work in Texas. That experience shapes a calm, steady approach to problems that can feel overwhelming. Nancy blends goal-oriented techniques with a client-centered way of listening and reflecting so people feel heard and guided.

In the room she helps people untangle family of origin issues, commitment and control worries, and the emotional weight of divorce or separation. She supports those dealing with cancer-related stress, blended family challenges, and codependency patterns by setting clear, realistic steps forward.

Nancy also uses mindfulness and acceptance strategies to reduce reactivity and build tolerance for difficult feelings. The work is collaborative: she and each client set priorities and track progress together. To begin, she asks clients to clarify goals and try small changes between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and what to expect online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without letting them control actions, then choose behaviors that line up with their values. It can be useful for midlife uncertainty, anxiety, and making meaningful life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. It often includes homework and skill practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so clients feel understood and can find their own solutions; it supports emotional processing and clearer decision making.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy collaborates with each client to decide which strategies fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps most, so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a session can be scheduled during a lunch break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that consistent online sessions help them practice new behaviors between meetings and keep momentum toward their goals.
