Nancy Dano , LMHC

Nancy Dano is a licensed mental health counselor with ten years of practice. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her work also addresses parenting strain, eating and body image struggles, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.

She focuses on building a trusting working relationship so people feel understood. Sessions move at the client’s pace and aim at practical steps toward goals. Nancy uses clear, everyday language and collaborative planning rather than technical jargon.

Her background includes both inpatient and outpatient settings, which gives her experience with clients at different points in care. She uses a mix of approaches that include cognitive behavioral tools and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness-based practices and attachment-focused perspectives are also part of her toolbox.

In a typical session she helps people notice patterns, try small behavior changes, and practice emotion-regulation skills. She also supports people working through loss, caregiving stress, and effects of trauma. The emphasis is on useful strategies people can apply between sessions.

Nancy holds the LMHC credential, licensed in New York. Conversations are offered in English, and she is listed as accepting international clients through the practice intake process. If someone wants to explore therapy, she guides them through manageable steps toward their goals.

How certain approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes patterns that form in close relationships and how those patterns show up now. It helps people notice how past relationships affect trust, closeness, and reactions in current relationships and supports new ways of connecting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks down problems into small steps, teaches practical coping strategies, and helps people test new behaviors between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist partners with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaboration allows the plan to be adjusted as needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a shorter check-in during a work break or avoiding travel time. It can also let people use approaches like CBT homework assignments and mindfulness exercises in the spaces where they live and work.
