About Nancy
Nancy Orlopp is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship stress, grief, trauma, mood shifts, and parenting concerns. She offers straightforward support for common struggles like low self-esteem, sleep trouble, work stress, and managing ADHD. Nancy writes in a clear, calm way and focuses on what will help day to day.
She practices from an approach that centers the client and their goals. That means conversations begin with what the person wants to change and build skills from there.
Background and approach
She also draws on emotion-focused work to improve connection and on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating patterns from the past. Nancy has eight years of experience as a clinician in New York and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential.
She has worked with people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent adults, and is attentive to cultural and personal values in sessions. Sessions usually focus on practical skills and clearer communication. Nancy helps people develop coping strategies, set boundaries, and repair strained connections.
She also supports clients working through grief, trauma, and major life transitions. Her style is collaborative and direct. She aims to make therapy a space where people feel heard and can try out new ways of handling old problems.
Work with her involves goal setting, skills practice, and checking progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy places the person and their goals at the center of sessions. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what they want to change, which can be done in conversation, text, or video. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication; these skills can be practiced in sessions and reinforced between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships to improve connection and intimacy, with work that often includes naming feelings and trying new interaction patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean starting with client-centered talk and adding skills-based DBT tools or emotion-focused exercises as goals become clearer.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins and reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain steady progress over time.
