About Nancy
Nancy Elliot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, and other major life changes.
She focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and rebuild steady routines. Sessions often address trauma and abuse, coping with addiction, low self-esteem, and the day-to-day weight of caregiving and cancer-related stress. Nancy also helps people untangle family of origin issues, blended family concerns, and problems with communication and control.
Nancy draws on several practical therapy methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills support emotion regulation and present-moment focus.
Her style is goal-oriented and faith-informed, offering straightforward strategies alongside exploration of painful feelings like guilt, shame, and emptiness. Sessions include coaching elements for building concrete communication skills and problem-solving steps.
People who are juggling caregiving, late-life transitions, separation or divorce, or the aftermath of domestic violence often seek her perspective. Her work aims to help adults regain stability, set boundaries, and find clearer next steps when life feels overwhelming.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps that match those values. It can be useful for stress, grief, and life changes when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing anger or addictive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm during stressful moments.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from several approaches to match what someone needs that week.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. They reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a quieter spot rather than rearranging their whole day. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and homework to work well in an online setting, so practical skills and emotion-regulation tools can be practiced between sessions.
