About Nancy
Nancy Elliot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or life changes. Her focus includes parenting concerns, relationship struggles, addiction, and managing anger and low self-esteem.
She practices in Texas and offers support in English. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She listens to what matters most and helps people set practical goals.
Sessions often include learning new ways to cope, improving communication, and practicing mindful strategies to reduce reactivity.
Background and approach
With decades of practice, Nancy draws on a mix of evidence-based methods. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, and client-centered work to help people make steady changes. She also brings skills from dialectical behavior strategies when emotion regulation is needed.
Nancy has experience addressing a broad range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and the emotional impact of illness such as cancer. She also supports people facing abandonment wounds, codependency, divorce and separation, and the challenge of forgiving or being forgiven. In sessions she combines listening with clear, achievable steps.
That might mean short behavioral experiments between sessions, focused skills practice, or motivational conversations about change. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take actions that match those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change behavior and mood. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps the client find their own solutions.Nancy will work collaboratively to determine which approach or combination fits a person’s needs. Together they will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Finding the right mix is part of the work rather than a single predetermined choice.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful when visual interaction helps communication. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
