About Nancy
Nancy Bodnar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of practice. She offers straightforward, person-focused care for people facing relationship strains, grief, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Nancy aims to help people regain confidence and improve how they connect with others.
Her work is grounded in listening and collaboration. She draws on client-centered methods to learn what matters most to each person. Nancy also uses practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and strong emotions.
Background and approach
Nancy has worked in independent practice and outpatient hospital settings. That background shaped her ability to shift between longer-term exploration and problem-focused work. She has experience helping people cope with trauma, addiction concerns, parenting strain, identity and sexuality questions, and separation or divorce.
She often combines approaches depending on the situation. For some people that means focusing on immediate coping strategies; for others it means looking at past patterns that affect current relationships. Nancy values working with clients at their own pace and tailoring the work to practical goals.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Online support
How Nancy's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps the person name what matters most, then tailors the work to those goals. This approach is useful for relationship struggles, parenting stress, and feeling stuck in life.CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Nancy uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. That can help with anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and coping with change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nancy will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and try methods that fit their needs. Goals and techniques can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins and ongoing support possible between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent even with busy schedules or different daily demands.
