About Nancy
Nancy Truett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with more than two decades of clinical experience. She draws on work in community, school, and residential settings to help people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and trauma. Nancy communicates plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She blends talk-based care with structured methods to address depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and problems tied to family of origin.
Background and approach
Her background includes substance use treatment and supporting people coping with major life changes and career stress. Nancy also works with issues such as eating concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Nancy uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
She also uses EMDR for trauma-related work and motivational interviewing to support change when addiction or ambivalence is present. Narrative therapy appears in sessions when people want to reframe their stories and see new options. Her training and long experience make her comfortable with complex situations like domestic violence, infidelity, divorce, and codependency.
She pays attention to guilt, shame, isolation, and emptiness and helps people build skills to manage anger, set boundaries, and improve self-esteem. Nancy’s past roles include work in K-12 and college settings and residential treatment programs, and she currently directs counseling services at a community college. She aims to make therapy straightforward, collaborative, and tailored to each person's goals.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room and on listening first. It helps people feel heard and guides counselors to build goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills to change reactions and behavior. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process painful memories and reduce their emotional charge when trauma is a central issue.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can change over time as progress and needs become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video works well for full sessions and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging can serve as short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, follow-up, and pacing therapy around work, school, or caregiving demands.
