About Nancy
Nancy Dano is a licensed mental health counselor with ten years of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, ADHD, and relationship concerns. She focuses on building a respectful working relationship and moves at each person’s pace.
Nancy uses clear, straightforward methods in sessions. She listens first, then partners with people to set small, practical goals. Sessions often include skills practice, mindful breathing, and thought exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Her background includes both inpatient and outpatient settings in New York. That variety means she has experience with crisis stabilization and with longer-term care. She draws on several approaches to match a person's needs rather than following a single method.
Nancy commonly uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand relationship patterns. She applies cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and to build coping strategies. Dialectical behavior techniques are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are a focus.
People can expect a calm, collaborative style. Nancy tends to work step-by-step and checks in about goals and progress. Her practical focus is on skills people can use between sessions to handle everyday challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to clients inside and outside the United States. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Nancy often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people see how early relationship patterns affect current interactions. This approach focuses on understanding connection styles and improving how people relate to others. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they adjust methods and tools as progress is made so the plan fits real life and personal rhythms.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be an easier fit when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when a written record of strategies is helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines and to continue care across different locations.
