About Nancy

Nancy Purohit is a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina who focuses on helping people regain steadiness when life feels overwhelming. With 10 years of practice, she works with clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, ADHD-related concerns, parenting challenges, and issues connected to LGBTQ+ identity.

Background and approach

Her style emphasizes building practical skills alongside personal insight so clients can move toward clearer goals and greater self-trust. She draws from a range of evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and a client-centered approach.

Nancy aims to meet each person where they are, offering guidance that balances compassionate listening with concrete strategies for managing emotions, impulsivity, and life transitions. She encourages taking that first step into therapy as a meaningful act of self-care and partners with clients to shape workable next steps.

Therapeutic methods and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by encouraging more flexible responses rather than futile avoidance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT provides practical strategies for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, impulsivity, and many everyday challenges through structured exercises and skill practice.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nancy partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors interventions from these methods so treatment matches what matters most to the client. That collaborative planning helps clarify which skills to prioritize and how progress will be measured.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from wherever a client is located in South Carolina. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools effectively across these formats to help clients build coping skills and work toward their goals.
