Nancy Elliot, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Nancy

Nancy Elliot is a licensed professional counselor with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship strain. Her style is practical and straightforward so parents can find usable steps fast.

She works from Texas and holds the LPC credential. Nancy aims to make therapy feel understandable and manageable. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindful practices to help people name their patterns and try new responses.

Background and approach

Sessions often include simple skills for coping, clearer communication habits, and steps to reduce overwhelming feelings. Her background includes long experience with trauma, addiction, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She also addresses family concerns such as blended family issues, caregiver stress, and family of origin problems.

That experience shapes how she helps clients solve day-to-day problems and plan realistic next steps. In sessions Nancy emphasizes building resilience and practical routines. She helps clients set achievable goals, practice new behaviors, and check progress over time.

The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Therapy with Nancy can include brief coaching elements alongside traditional counseling. People who prefer a goal-focused, skills-based approach will find clear tools and steady support during change.

Evidence-based approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so a parent can choose steps that matter even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment and teaches breathing and awareness practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean using ACT exercises one week, practicing CBT skills the next, and adding mindfulness techniques as needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to access that work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions provide a simpler option when schedules are tight, and live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins and step-by-step coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent during busy family routines and life changes.

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.
