About Nancy

Nancy Bass is a Florida LMHC and a Georgia LPC with 40 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are facing depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Nancy also addresses grief and helps people who are questioning their life purpose.

She starts from the view that each person knows their own story best. In sessions she listens closely and helps people notice strengths they already have. She uses practical conversation to help clients make small shifts that can reduce overwhelm.

Nancy draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build trusting professional rapport. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that maintain low mood or anxiety. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide shorter-term goal work and steps toward change.

People often come for help when work, relationships, health, or aging bring unexpected change. Nancy talks through grief, supports mood management, and helps clients consider next steps when feeling stuck. She also works with concerns around addiction, isolation, self-worth, and women’s issues.

Sessions focus on clear, doable steps rather than abstract promises. Nancy helps clients set realistic goals and checks progress along the way. To begin, she asks a few practical questions and plans the first session around the client's current concerns.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name what matters most. This approach is useful for people sorting out big decisions or feeling directionless.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It includes practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT can be helpful when mood patterns or anxiety are keeping someone stuck.

Nancy treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they decide whether to focus on mood management, short-term problem solving, or exploring larger life-purpose questions.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists commonly adapt exercises, worksheets, and goal-setting to work well over remote sessions, which helps make steady progress while keeping appointments manageable.
