About Nancy

Nancy Orlopp is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for people facing relationship strains, grief, mood changes, and parenting concerns. She uses straightforward talk and goal-oriented steps to ease everyday pressures. Her approach is calm and respectful, aimed at helping people feel understood and clearer about next steps.

She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions in New York. Nancy blends therapy styles so sessions match what someone needs that day.

Background and approach

She listens first, then offers tools for emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving. Nancy often draws on Client-Centered techniques to build trust and make space for honest conversations. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help manage overwhelming feelings and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to improve closeness and understanding in relationships.

In practice she helps people sort through career stress, sleep struggles, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She also supports those coping with trauma, ADHD-related challenges, and changes tied to aging or neurodiversity. Sessions focus on concrete skills and steady progress rather than abstract theory.

People working with Nancy can expect a collaborative process. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts plans as needed. The goal is to leave sessions with a clearer idea and practical steps to try between meetings.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify goals. This approach is useful for people who need a steady, listening presence while they sort out choices and emotions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on building skills for managing strong emotions and reducing overwhelm. Online sessions can teach and reinforce these skills with practice exercises and clear step-by-step coaching tailored to daily life.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift unhelpful interaction patterns to feel closer and more supported in relationships. Even through remote sessions, it can guide conversations that change how partners or family members relate to one another.

Nancy treats finding the right approach as a team effort. Early sessions are used to understand concerns, set goals, and try methods that fit each person’s needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan together with the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging let people fit care into busy days. These formats make it easier to attend from home, follow up between sessions, and practice new skills in real time with support from a licensed professional.

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.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
