About Nancy
Nancy Dano is a New York LMHC with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and ADHD. Nancy also supports clients dealing with eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, and major life changes.
She focuses on building a working relationship where the client’s pace guides each session. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear goals rather than long theoretical talks. Nancy draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
Her approach also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations for trust and closeness. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are included when clients need tools for tolerating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. She combines these methods into straightforward, step-by-step work rather than jargon-filled explanations.
Nancy has experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and she integrates that perspective into individual sessions. She works collaboratively on action plans and coping strategies that fit everyday life. Clients who want practical tools and calm, paced conversations tend to find this style useful.
She communicates in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the platform match process.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations for closeness and trust. Online sessions using this approach help people notice recurring patterns in relationships and practice new ways of asking for what they need. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing alternatives through small behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Nancy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and practical needs. She checks in about what is helpful and adapts the plan as progress and priorities change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings between appointments. Ask about scheduling, session length, and any technical preferences during the match questionnaire so the format aligns with everyday routines.
