Nancy Solow, LICSW - Therapist in Massachusetts

About Nancy

Nancy Solow is a licensed independent clinical social worker with 27 years of experience. She practices in Massachusetts and brings long experience supporting people through family and parenting concerns. Nancy works in a warm, interactive way that leans on practical tools and careful listening.

Her style emphasizes strengths and collaboration. She adapts methods to fit each person's situation rather than following one fixed plan. Sessions often focus on understanding relationships, building skills for coping, and finding clearer ways to respond during stressful moments.

Background and approach

Nancy draws on approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those methods help with grief, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, and recovery from trauma. She has particular experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family questions, caregiver stress, and family of origin difficulties.

That background also informs work around forgiveness, shame, isolation, and life purpose. Many sessions mix skill-building, reflective conversation, and practical problem solving. Nancy aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can start to make changes and find direction.

She encourages small, manageable steps toward goals and checks in about what feels most useful.

Approaches that fit family and parenting work online

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life. It looks at how people connect and respond to loved ones, which can help with attachment issues, adoption and foster care challenges, and family relationship patterns.

Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience. The therapist provides acceptance and reflective listening so people can explore concerns like parenting stress, grief, or family conflict at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and for learning concrete coping skills during life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Nancy will work with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what feels achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove the need for travel, and live chat or text can support brief check-ins or step-by-step work between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily routines and to maintain momentum while addressing family and parenting concerns.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
