About Nancy
Nancy Van Aman is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and shifts in life. She focuses on building confidence, boosting self esteem, and supporting practical changes.
Background and approach
Nancy draws on 35 years of experience and treats each person as the expert on their own story. She uses concrete, straightforward methods to help clients set small goals and make steady progress.
Sessions often involve identifying thought patterns, practicing calming skills, and developing steps to face difficult moments. Nancy also uses coaching techniques to support professional growth and decision making.
Nancy’s approach mixes evidence-informed therapies in ways that match a person’s needs. That can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking, EMDR for processing past trauma, and elements of the Gottman Method when working on relationship dynamics.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are added when helpful and welcomed by the client. Clients can expect a collaborative process.
Nancy listens first, then suggests practical tools to try between sessions. She emphasizes doable steps rather than long lists of tasks, and she helps people build on strengths they already have.
Her experience in Florida spans diverse settings and challenges over three and a half decades. That background informs a calm, steady style focused on helping people regain balance, handle panic or mood shifts, and find clearer ways forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Nancy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal oriented, useful for anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and building new coping habits.She may also use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing traumatic memories and reducing the intensity of distressing past events. EMDR sessions focus on targeted memories and adaptive processing to lessen emotional charge.
The right approach is figured out together. The therapist listens to concerns, discusses options, and suggests methods based on your goals and comfort. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for each person.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match lifestyle needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging can suit ongoing, flexible communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
