About Nancy
Nancy Truett is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Tennessee with 23 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship troubles, and family of origin issues. Her background includes time in agency and college counseling settings and work with people facing substance use and related challenges.
She approaches sessions in a straightforward way. Conversations focus on current problems and how past family patterns affect present choices. She uses talk-based methods and sometimes arts-related exercises drawn from her creative writing background to help people name repeating patterns and try different responses.
Nancy combines several therapy styles depending on the issue. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s priorities central during decision making. EMDR is part of her work for people processing distressing memories.
Her training history includes a master’s degree in Educational Psychology and Community & Mental Health Counseling from the University of Tennessee and a bachelor’s degree in Literature-Creative Writing from the University of North Carolina. She also works in higher education administration related to counseling services.
Sessions involve practical steps, short- and longer-term goals, and regular check-ins about progress. People who come because childhood roles, family expectations, or early relationship patterns still shape their life will find her direct style useful for sorting what to change and how to try new approaches.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client make decisions about what to work on. This approach supports people who want to name what matters now and set practical goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions use straightforward tools and homework tasks to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method some people use for processing distressing memories; it involves structured steps to reduce the intensity of those memories.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, explain options, and try approaches together to see what fits best. Decisions about methods are collaborative and may shift as needs change.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Discuss practical preferences ahead of the first meeting so sessions match everyday life and scheduling needs.
