Nancy Bass, LMHC, LPC

Nancy Bass is a licensed counselor with 40 years of clinical experience in Florida. She focuses on trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and coping with life changes. She speaks English and centers sessions on each person’s strengths and goals. Nancy emphasizes a respectful, supportive space for people taking the first step toward change.

Her approach begins by listening to the client’s story and recognizing what already works in their life. She uses practical techniques to address symptoms of mood disorders and to manage difficult emotions after loss or traumatic events. Conversations often include setting small, achievable goals and building confidence over time.

Nancy draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and create a collaborative relationship. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and Motivational Interviewing to support commitment to change. Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep sessions goal-oriented and action-focused.

She has worked across many settings during her career and has experience supporting people facing addiction, isolation, aging concerns, and identity questions. Nancy aims to help clients find practical ways to cope, strengthen self-love, and reconnect with what gives life meaning.

To begin, she suggests taking a small step such as completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a session. Nancy frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s strengths guide the work forward.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist encourages people to tell their story and uses that as the basis for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find practical steps that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. They make adjustments over time so the plan fits the person’s needs and pace.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as avoiding travel time, managing appointments around work, or picking shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these approaches by adapting tools and exercises to the online setting so progress continues between sessions.
