About Nancy

Nancy Hauck is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and career challenges.

Background and approach

Nancy also addresses trauma, anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Her style is warm and interactive.

Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens closely and builds plans with each person's goals in mind.

Nancy uses a mix of approaches that match what a person needs. She draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful space.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. The Gottman Method is used to address intimacy-related issues and improve communication.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools are offered when they suit a person's goals.

Together these methods support coping skills, problem solving, and clearer decision making. Nancy has worked extensively with veterans and people affected by physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her background includes both clinical practice and practical coaching for life transitions. She practices from North Carolina and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Online sessions can use methods that feel practical and hands-on. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict in close relationships by teaching specific skills and conversation techniques. In online work this can mean role-play, structured exercises, and homework to practice between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first. The clinician listens without judgment, reflects what is heard, and helps people clarify their own goals. That approach works well online because conversations can stay focused and paced to the client’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In video or phone sessions CBT includes identifying unhelpful thinking, trying new behaviors, and assigning brief exercises to do between meetings to track progress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Nancy will discuss goals, preferences, and what methods feel comfortable. Together they’ll choose or blend approaches and adjust them as progress is made.

Online formats offer practical benefits: video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing coaching or reminder check-ins. These options make scheduling and follow-up more flexible for busy lives.
