About Nancy

Nancy Dano is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a decade of clinical practice in New York. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and ADHD, among other challenges.

Background and approach

Her background includes both inpatient and outpatient work, which informs a flexible approach to different care settings and levels of need. She builds therapy around a collaborative, client-paced relationship, helping clients set and pursue meaningful goals while honoring each person’s rhythm and readiness.

Nancy integrates evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy with attachment-based and mindfulness practices to offer practical coping tools, skill-building, and exploration of relational patterns. Her work also addresses issues like self-esteem, caregiving stress, eating and body image concerns, and complex co-morbid presentations.

Clients can expect a therapeutic partnership focused on clarity, skills, and gradual progress toward their priorities.

Integrating proven approaches into online therapy

Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and closeness; it helps people explore relational dynamics and build more supported, supportive connections. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering tools to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can complement skills work and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nancy works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and challenges, then blends techniques from these models to create a personalized plan. Together they evaluate what helps most and adjust strategies over time to fit changing needs.

Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access therapy across schedules and locations. These formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints while maintaining continuity of care. The variety of options supports different communication styles and makes it practical to receive consistent therapeutic support.
