About Nancy
Nancy Brighton is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. She draws on many years of practice to offer steady, practical support. Her approach emphasizes listening first and helping people build on strengths they already have.
She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and that change begins with small, manageable steps. Sessions focus on clear goals and actions people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Nancy aims to make each session feel focused and respectful of the client’s pace. Nancy uses approaches that include Attachment-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She blends methods to match what each person needs, using strategies like values-focused planning, emotion regulation skills, and problem-solving practice.
Over decades of practice she has supported people facing grief, addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and work or career strain. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, and communication problems. The work often mixes short-term coping tools with longer-term insight.
Sessions are offered from Florida and are conducted in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. Online work using this approach looks at patterns in how someone relates to others and builds new ways to feel safer and more connected. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values while accepting difficult emotions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions and translates well to concrete homework and tracking between sessions.Nancy treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She listens to each person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day limits, then suggests blends of methods that fit. Over several sessions she checks in and adjusts strategies so the plan stays practical and relevant to what the person wants to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial expressions and use visual tools. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a session needs to fit into a break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
