Nancy Dano LMHC

Nancy Dano is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and other life changes. She aims to build a respectful working relationship and move at each person’s pace.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set realistic goals and steps they can try between sessions. Sessions often use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to manage difficult thoughts and emotions. Mindfulness strategies are also used to help people stay grounded when stress feels overwhelming.

Nancy has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That background gives her experience with crisis stabilization and ongoing care. She brings that experience into routine sessions to help clients find steady ways to cope and recover.

She focuses on attachment concerns, abandonment wounds, communication problems, codependency, and caregiving stress among other areas. Nancy also supports people facing body image, eating, and bipolar-related challenges. Her work includes helping people with ADHD, autism spectrum considerations, and complex co-morbid presentations.

Sessions are client-centered and paced to the individual. She partners with each person to choose strategies that fit their life and goals. Prospective clients should use the Start Therapy button to complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and build more secure ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, following their pace and priorities while offering empathic reflection to help them make sense of their experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Nancy works together with each person to choose which methods make sense based on goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That collaborative process may blend elements from different approaches so a plan fits the individual.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow regular check-ins during life transitions. Some approaches lend themselves to skill practice between sessions, which can translate well to remote work. Talk with Nancy during the matching steps to identify the best setup and approach for your situation.
