About Nancy
Nancy Livingston is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who draws on a decade of clinical experience. She approaches therapy as a partnership, working with people to set clear, achievable goals. She emphasizes each person’s strengths and supports them through hard moments.
Nancy practices in New Jersey and holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her work focuses on common life stresses like anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes.
Background and approach
She also helps with relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem challenges. Additional areas of attention include aging and geriatric issues, cancer, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and Seasonal Affective Disorder. Nancy values practical guidance.
Sessions typically center on talking through immediate problems, identifying coping strategies, and building on what already works for the person. She aims to make steps forward feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Her background includes extensive time in health-related settings, which shaped her understanding of illness, caregiving, and bereavement.
That experience informs how she supports people facing medical challenges or loss. She draws on evidence-based techniques and tailors them to each person’s situation. Nancy offers multiple online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to fit the individual’s needs and goals.
Evidence-based approaches and online options for everyday challenges
Nancy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. One common approach focuses on practical problem solving - identifying specific stressors, trying small changes, and tracking what helps. This method is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it breaks big problems into manageable steps.Another approach emphasizes coping skills for grief, caregiver stress, and medical-related challenges. It includes strategies for managing strong emotions, pacing activities, and finding supports during difficult times. These techniques help people navigate loss, caregiving demands, and end-of-life conversations in clearer ways.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means plans can change as progress is made or new challenges arise, keeping the work practical and collaborative.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving, work, or medical appointments. They also allow steady contact between appointments, so support can continue even when life is busy.
