About Nancy

Nancy Cechvala is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 20 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional challenges. She works with clients facing trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, ADHD, stress, and a broad range of life adjustments.

Background and approach

Her background also includes support for concerns such as parenting, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping struggles, and caregiver stress. Her style blends evidence-based techniques with a person-centered attitude that emphasizes respect and collaboration.

Nancy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to tailor care to each person’s needs. The result is a practical, strengths-oriented approach that aims to help clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and move toward realistic goals.

Based in Wisconsin, Nancy frames treatment around each client’s values and life context while offering flexible session formats to fit different schedules. She seeks to provide a steady, empathetic presence for those working through trauma, major life changes, career pressures, or ongoing mood and stress concerns.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the client’s priorities guide sessions; it helps people exploring self-understanding, values, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotional experience and connection, which can be especially useful for people navigating relationship distress or deep-seated attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Nancy will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit best based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time to reflect progress and changing needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other obligations, and they allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own locations.
