About Nancy

Nancy Drose is a licensed social worker who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship strain. She keeps sessions focused on practical coping skills and clearer communication so clients can manage day-to-day stress more effectively.

Nancy uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters to each person. She listens for patterns that cause repeated pain and helps clients try different ways of responding. This often includes short exercises to practice between sessions so skills grow more quickly.

Her work draws from several evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and acceptance strategies. Those methods are used to reduce overwhelming thoughts, improve mood, and build more flexible responses to painful memories or triggers.

Nancy has nine years of clinical experience as an LISW-CP - Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice in South Carolina. That background informs how she blends therapy tools with a client-centered style that values each person’s goals and pace.

Common concerns she helps people address include sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, and career stress. She also supports people navigating attachment, adoption and foster care matters, and the fallout from abandonment or codependency.

People who reach out can expect a calm, organized approach that focuses on clear next steps. Nancy aims to help clients notice small changes that add up to steadier emotional functioning and clearer relationships over time.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then act according to their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and trauma-related patterns where avoidance has become a problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, sleep troubles, and managing mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anger, stress, and sleeplessness.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust techniques as progress and challenges become clearer.

For online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since session formats are not specified here. Many people appreciate online sessions for fitting therapy into a busy day, avoiding travel, and making it simpler to add short check-ins or consistent weekly meetings. Online work can make it easier to practice mindfulness exercises between sessions and to review written exercises together during meetings.
