About Nancy
Nancy Brighton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 53 years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Nancy also helps people facing ADHD, addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep or eating problems, and career concerns.
She approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She treats the person, not only the presenting problem. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building everyday skills to manage emotions and behaviors. Clients are encouraged to use their strengths while testing new ways of coping.
Nancy draws from several therapy styles to match what each person needs. She uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and to build coping strategies. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches guide conversations about past family patterns and current relationships.
In sessions she aims for direct talk and straightforward tools. That can include exercises to notice thoughts, practice new communication habits, and plan small behavior changes between meetings. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when intense emotions or self-regulation are a concern.
Her long career includes many settings and client concerns, which she brings to each meeting as practical experience. People who are frustrated by repeating family patterns or stuck in old roles often focus therapy on identifying those patterns and trying alternatives.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Nancy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and values, then take small committed actions that align with what matters to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at family-of-origin patterns and relationship roles. That approach aims to clarify how early relationships shape expectations and to try different ways of relating in current life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help the client test ACT, attachment-focused work, or other methods based on the person’s goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. Decisions about tools and pacing are made collaboratively.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity when schedules change. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time so sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice for remote meetings, and the focus remains on clear steps that fit everyday routines.
