About Nancy

Nancy Arnovits is a licensed clinical social worker with more than three decades of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and a range of other life challenges. Her tone is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps and real coping tools.

Her work has been based largely in a large public teaching hospital in Miami, Florida. That setting gave her experience with diverse medical and mental health issues, survivors of sexual assault, patients in correctional settings, and families coping with serious illness.

Background and approach

Those years shaped a skill for handling complex situations. Nancy uses an eclectic, flexible style. She adapts methods to what each person needs.

That can include client-centered listening, solution-focused planning, or cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She is attentive to current stressors affecting communities, including members of the LGBT community, and welcomes conversations about identity and related concerns. She also brings experience with caregiver stress, chronic illness, end-of-life issues, addictions, and trauma-related problems.

Nancy describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people learn new coping skills, spot patterns that cause trouble, and set concrete goals. She aims to help clients feel more able to manage daily demands and relationships.

Therapeutic methods and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns and behaviors that cause problems, often through practical exercises and homework. Nancy blends these approaches with client-centered listening to tailor the work to each person's needs.

Choosing the right approach is typically a shared process. She will talk with each client about goals and preferences, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan based on what works. That collaborative tone helps shape realistic steps and keeps the focus on everyday improvements.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, continue care while traveling, or use shorter check-ins between longer appointments. The variety of options supports different communication styles and schedules, while allowing therapists to use ACT and CBT techniques in practical ways.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
