Nancy Drose, LISW-CP - Therapist in South Carolina

About Nancy

Nancy Drose is a licensed social worker who offers practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting and family stress. She focuses on helping parents and caregivers manage anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and everyday stress. Her tone in sessions is calm and straightforward, aimed at finding realistic ways to handle hard moments.

With nine years of clinical experience, Nancy uses methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and practice new skills in daily life.

Background and approach

She draws from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take small steps toward them. Cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness tools are also part of her work to reduce worry and improve sleep. Parents often come with relationship tension, blended family concerns, or guilt and shame around care decisions.

Nancy pays attention to patterns like communication problems, codependency, control issues, and attachment worries. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, adoption and foster care questions, or impulsivity. Sessions are practical and focused on what can be tried between meetings.

Nancy encourages short experiments, simple coping skills, and clearer boundaries. She aims to make therapy fit into busy family life rather than add more strain. Based in South Carolina, Nancy holds the LISW-CP credential.

She provides care in English and works with people who prefer video, phone, chat, or text-based sessions. The initial step is a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits each person's needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most to them and take small, value-driven steps even when feelings are uncomfortable. ACT can be useful for parents facing anxiety, grief, or hard decisions where clarity about values guides action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It offers concrete techniques for reducing worry, improving sleep, and handling anger or impulsivity.

Nancy treats the choice of approach as a collaboration. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals, daily life, and what feels most useful. That decision can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family routines, school drop-offs, and work schedules. Using multiple formats also lets people reinforce skills between meetings and stay connected when life gets busy.

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.
