About Nancy

Nancy Purohit is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing everyday parenting and family challenges. She works with clients who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or changes in life. Nancy speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical steps families can try between meetings.

Nancy uses simple, proven tools to reduce worry and improve daily routines. She supports people working through relationship concerns, LGBT issues, parenting stress, and difficulties tied to attention differences.

Background and approach

Her approach aims to make small shifts that add up to steadier days. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - with ten years of clinical experience in South Carolina. That experience includes helping people manage grief, cope with trauma, address anger and impulsivity, and rebuild self-esteem.

Nancy also offers coaching around career questions, life purpose, and transitions. Nancy often blends talk-based support with practical exercises drawn from cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-based strategies. She encourages clients to notice what matters to them and try manageable behavioral changes.

The focus is on creating clearer routines, healthier responses, and more confidence in parenting and family roles. For someone ready to start, Nancy asks straightforward questions about goals and current struggles. From there she and the client plan steps that fit daily life.

Sessions are offered using several online formats to make ongoing work easier for busy families.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It is useful for stress, anxiety, life transitions, and parenting frustration when values and action need clearer focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and daily routines that affect family life.

Nancy treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She talks with each person about their goals, what has worked before, and how they prefer to try new skills. From that conversation she suggests a mix of approaches and checks in to adjust the plan so it fits real life.

Online therapy can make regular work easier for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions offer a low-tech option, and live chat or text messaging support quick check-ins or brief coaching between meetings. These formats add flexibility so therapists and clients can keep making steady progress while fitting sessions into a family schedule.

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.
