About Nancy

Nancy Hauck is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people juggling stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and career shifts. Her style is warm and interactive, with a focus on clear steps and respect for each person's situation.

She uses familiar tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change thinking and behavior patterns.

Background and approach

Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and better coping. She also draws on client-centered listening and hypnotherapy when those approaches fit a person's goals. In sessions Nancy often teaches coping skills, offers psychoeducation, and works with clients to set realistic, measurable goals.

She pays attention to trauma and abuse histories and to concerns such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, seasonal mood changes, and compassion fatigue. Veteran and armed forces issues and personality disorder concerns are among the areas she has experience addressing. Nancy holds South Carolina LISW-CP 13023 and North Carolina LCSW C005733.

She practices from North Carolina and conducts most work in English. Her background includes long-term psychotherapy across a range of life challenges and transitions. Her aim is to help people find practical ways to feel steadier and more capable.

Sessions focus on small, doable changes and building skills that fit day-to-day life.

Online approaches that fit family and parenting needs

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people feel understood as they work toward clearer goals. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through parenting stress or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Sessions teach practical steps to shift unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and emotional ups and downs.

Nancy treats selection of approaches as a collaborative process. She will discuss options, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan as goals evolve. Together a client and therapist decide what feels like the best fit based on needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to return quickly to work or caregiving after a meeting. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and keep treatment focused and practical without requiring travel.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
