Nancy Solow, LICSW - Therapist in Massachusetts

About Nancy

Nancy Solow is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts. She has 27 years of clinical experience helping people navigate grief, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and life transitions. Nancy brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Nancy favors an attachment-informed approach to understand how early connections shape current patterns. She blends that with client-centered listening so each person sets the pace and goals for therapy.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices are used when they fit the issue and the person's preferred way of working. Her style is warm and interactive. She pays attention to strengths and to the small, realistic changes that make daily life easier.

Nancy often helps people untangle family of origin problems, adoption and foster care complexities, and caregiver stress by looking at patterns and finding new responses. Clients also come for anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and intimacy-related concerns. She addresses anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, and feelings of isolation with practical coping skills and steady support.

Sessions focus on clear goals and on what a person can try between meetings. Nancy encourages people to be curious about their history and how it shows up now. Her aim is to help people build better connections, greater self-compassion, and more workable strategies for handling stress and change.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotional reactions. Online sessions bring that exploration into today’s relationships and everyday situations so people can try new ways of relating and notice different results. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead, helping people set their own goals and feel heard during online conversations. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers concrete exercises to change them, such as behavioral experiments or thought records that can be discussed over video or messaging.

Nancy treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether attachment-focused reflection, client-centered listening, CBT tools, or a mix best fits the situation, and adjust the plan as work unfolds.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and feel more like an in-person conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when a flexible, shorter touchpoint fits a busy schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
