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, anger, grief, relationship struggles, addiction, and major life changes. Nancy often supports people facing caregiving strain, aging issues, family problems, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.

She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people manage emotions and make practical changes. Sessions often focus on concrete skills - coping tools, communication techniques, and ways to limit reactive behavior. Mindfulness and acceptance work are part of how she helps people notice triggers and choose different responses.

Nancy describes her style as active and goal-oriented. She helps clients set clear goals, practice new behaviors, and review progress. Work can include examining patterns from family of origin, addressing control and trust issues, and sorting through feelings like shame, emptiness, or abandonment.

Her background includes decades of clinical practice in Texas and experience supporting people through bereavement, divorce, cancer caregiving, and blended family challenges. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to match tools to the person's needs.

People who want practical steps for managing anger, rebuilding relationships, or navigating life transitions may find her approach direct and skills-focused. She offers sessions in English and asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit with online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. It helps people who want to reduce avoidance and live in line with what matters, useful for anger linked to frustration and meaning struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is helpful for anger at work or home by breaking down triggers and building alternative responses. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and grounding skills that calm the body and reduce reactive responses.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That may mean practicing skills between sessions and reviewing what worked and what didn’t.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate remote sessions because they can fit appointments into a work break, avoid travel, or choose a shorter check-in when time is tight. Online work can make it easier to practice skills in everyday settings and to review tools with the therapist between meetings. Licensed professionals can help adjust the pacing and homework so therapy fits into a busy schedule.
