About Nancy
Nancy Marts brings a long-standing dedication to social work that began in 1976 and has grown into 45 years of varied practice.
Background and approach
She is an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker - who has worked across settings including juvenile programs, hospital trauma and surgical units, home health and hospice, and both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care. This wide-ranging background has shaped her into a generalist clinician with deep practical experience supporting people through complex life circumstances.
Her approach centers on guiding clients through transitions that can leave them stuck, anxious, grieving, or unsure of the next step. She draws on client-centered listening and evidence-based techniques to help people regain direction, adapt to change, and develop coping skills.
Nancy often works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, relationship and family matters, grief, sleep problems, parenting challenges, career questions, and ADHD among other issues. She emphasizes collaboration rather than offering definitive answers, inviting clients to explore their experience and to build practical strategies one step at a time.
Based in North Carolina, Nancy combines empathy from decades of practice with structured methods to support recovery, adaptation, and renewed purpose.
Approaches That Guide Online Growth
Nancy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for changing patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, sleep issues, or stress. CBT focuses on clear skills and behavioral experiments that can produce measurable change in day-to-day functioning.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness work. DBT offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions, coping with distress, and improving relationships, which can be helpful for mood instability, anger, and stress-related challenges.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative: Nancy works with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. The process is framed as a partnership where skills and insights are developed together.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow scheduling that fits work, family, or mobility constraints and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or when in-person visits are difficult.
