About Nancy
Nancy Hartman is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Nancy presents therapy as a collaborative step toward feeling more confident and moving forward.
Her style centers on person-centered therapy, which means she listens closely and helps clients use their own strengths to solve problems. She also integrates Brainspotting and Critical Incident Stress Debriefing methods alongside ideas from attachment theory and personality mapping to better understand patterns that affect relationships and self-view. These tools are used to address trauma responses, panic, and reactions to loss.
Nancy offers a Christian-informed perspective for clients who want their faith considered in therapy. She focuses on helping people name emotions, sort through painful experiences like religious wounds or separation, and rebuild a sense of purpose. Sessions aim to nurture clearer self-understanding rather than quick fixes.
Practical concerns such as workplace challenges, caregiver stress, money worries, and communication problems are common topics. She helps people work through loneliness, forgiveness, and boundary issues linked to narcissism or control dynamics. The approach is steady and goal-focused, with attention to both feelings and real-life steps.
People who come to Nancy can expect a respectful, person-centered setting where faith perspectives are welcomed when relevant. She helps clients explore choices, practice new ways of connecting, and plan manageable next steps toward better everyday functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and online care fit
Person-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting a client's own goals. It emphasizes empathy and respect while helping people name feelings and choose practical next steps; this approach is often useful for work stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem struggles.Brainspotting is a technique that helps identify where the body holds emotional pain so clients can process stuck reactions and trauma responses. Critical Incident Stress Debriefing offers a structured way to process recent traumatic events and reduce acute stress reactions when those events are the focus of sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test what helps most, adjusting methods based on goals, comfort level, and what emerges in sessions. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and provide a way to check in consistently between work and family obligations. Different methods can be adapted to remote sessions, and the focus will be on making therapy practical and relevant to day-to-day life.
