About Nancy

Nancy Orlopp is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship struggles, trauma, grief, mood challenges, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, she frames work around each person's individual history and values, aiming to create a thoughtful, affirming space for exploration and growth. She lists ADHD among her focus areas alongside concerns such as intimacy issues, self-esteem, sleep difficulties, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Her practice integrates evidence-based techniques with an appreciation for each client’s cultural and personal background. Methods include client-centered listening, emotionally-focused work for attachment concerns, and psychodynamic exploration to uncover patterns that affect current functioning.

Nancy also draws on approaches that address communication and relationship repair, supporting clients through divorce, non-monogamous dynamics, or other relational changes. Based in New York and licensed as an LCSW, she welcomes adults seeking collaborative therapy that respects their beliefs while fostering practical coping strategies and resilience.

Sessions emphasize empathy, skill-building, and careful attention to the goals each person brings to therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the therapist listens actively and follows the clients lead to clarify goals and build self-understanding; this approach is helpful for people seeking empathy and personal insight. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets attachment and emotional patterns within relationships, helping partners or individuals identify and shift interaction cycles that lead to disconnection or distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist partners collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what the person wants to achieve, so approach selection is flexible rather than fixed.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer regular support, skill-building, and processing from different settings, providing practical accessibility and scheduling flexibility for clients.
