About Nancy
Nancy Hartman is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship struggles, grief, parenting worries, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her profile notes guilt and shame among the concerns she addresses.
Nancy treats the person, not just a problem. She starts by listening to each person’s story and recognizing what already helps them. Sessions focus on increasing self-understanding, naming painful feelings, and clarifying what matters most to the client.
Her approach is rooted in person-centered therapy, which emphasizes the client’s perspective. She also uses Brainspotting and Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, and draws on Attachment Theory and Personality Mapping to give different ways of understanding patterns in relationships and self-image.
Nancy notes a Christian-informed viewpoint and says she will respect individual spiritual beliefs while addressing emotional concerns. She talks with people about grief and religious wounds, trauma responses, isolation, and struggles with identity and purpose.
In practical terms she helps clients build clearer self-awareness, work through loneliness, and strengthen connections with others. Meetings tend to focus on concrete steps and clearer thinking about next moves rather than vague platitudes. People are invited to take the first step by completing the site’s matching process and scheduling an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Person-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s experience. Online sessions using this approach still emphasize what the client knows about their life and priorities, and aim to make space for clear expression and decision-making.Brainspotting is a body-focused method that locates points of attention to help process strong emotions and trauma. In an online setting it involves guided attention and movement of focus while the client describes sensations and memories to the therapist.
Attachment-based ideas and Personality Mapping provide ways to recognize repetitive patterns in relationships and self-image. Those perspectives help identify small behavioral experiments and new interaction choices to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on how the person responds and what fits their goals and preferences.
Session formats and scheduling should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make appointments easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain more consistent meeting times while they address guilt, shame, grief, and relationship concerns.
