About Nancy
Nancy Dano is a New York LMHC with 10 years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and trauma and abuse. She also works with concerns like ADHD, self-esteem, parenting strain, and coping with life changes.
Nancy emphasizes a practical, person-focused style in sessions. She builds a working relationship and moves at the client's pace. Conversations focus on clear goals and steps the client can use between sessions.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps the client identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers emotion-regulation tools and strategies for handling intense feelings. Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Nancy has experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, which she brings to session planning and case conceptualization. She describes her work as collaborative coaching and therapy, helping people apply skills to daily life and relationships.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is getting in the way and what to try next. She works at a pace the client can manage and checks in on progress toward agreed goals.
How sessions work
How Nancy uses evidence-based approaches online
Nancy often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that maintain problems and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and eating concerns. DBT emphasizes concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when strong feelings or recurring conflict are present.She also integrates mindfulness practices to help people notice reactions earlier and make different choices in the moment. Choosing an approach is collaborative: the therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made based on what is working in real life.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into weekdays or work breaks and to keep check-ins brief when needed. They also remove travel time and can let someone use tools learned in sessions immediately in their daily routines.
