About Nancy

Nancy Maxwell is a licensed master social worker with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She aims to listen carefully and work with each person’s priorities to set practical goals.

Nancy uses an attachment-informed approach alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas. She favors plain conversation and active listening. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person needs in the moment.

Background and approach

Her background includes long-term work in community mental health settings across outpatient, case management, and outreach teams. That experience brought repeated contact with life transitions, caregiver stress, grief, and mood concerns. She draws on that history when helping clients name what matters and build small steps forward.

Nancy also addresses parenting questions, family-origin issues, blended family challenges, and communication problems. She is comfortable guiding people through grief, abandonment worries, and the ripple effects of caregiving. Her work covers attention-related concerns such as ADHD and emotional regulation support.

She describes her style as warm and respectful, and welcomes faith discussions when clients wish. Therapy with Nancy aims to reduce barriers, teach practical coping skills, and strengthen emotional connection patterns. People who want straightforward support and steady guidance often find this approach useful.

Online support

Attachment-informed and practical approaches for online care

Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust. In sessions this means noticing how people connect, where they feel stuck, and practicing different ways of relating that feel safer over time.

Client-centered work puts the person's goals and values at the center. The therapist listens with curiosity, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify what they want to change or keep. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Nancy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what felt helpful in the past. Together they decide whether attachment ideas, client-centered listening, or CBT techniques - or a mix - will best fit the work ahead.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick updates, ongoing homework, or brief emotional support between sessions.
