About Nancy

Nancy Truett is an LPC with 23 years of clinical experience working in counseling, clinical mental health, and substance abuse treatment. She trained at the University of Tennessee in community and mental health counseling and earlier studied literature and creative writing at the University of North Carolina.

Background and approach

Her career has spanned agency and college settings as well as independent practice, and she currently serves as Director of Counseling Services at a community college while pursuing doctoral studies in adult learning and educational research. Her practice blends trauma-informed perspectives with practical interventions drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches.

That mix supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and intimacy challenges, depression, ADHD, and grief among other concerns. She also brings specialized interest in psychological and emotional abuse and related family and cultural issues.

Nancy emphasizes an individualized, arts-informed sensibility rooted in empathy and collaboration. She uses evidence-informed strategies alongside creative methods when helpful, aiming to help clients build coping skills, clarify goals, and navigate life transitions at a pace that fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care



Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist supports clients in exploring their concerns and identifying their own goals. This approach is useful for people seeking space to process emotions and make choices at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior through practical exercises and skill building. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching specific strategies for symptom management.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed method that helps process distressing memories using structured protocols and bilateral stimulation; it can be offered remotely with adaptations to ensure each step is paced to the client's comfort.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and responses to different methods and adjust techniques as therapy progresses so the client and therapist together determine the best fit.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support continuity during transitions, and allow clients to choose formats that match their communication style and practical needs.
