Nancy Bass

Nancy Bass is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 40 years of practice, licensed in Florida. She works with people coping with depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes. Nancy also addresses concerns tied to aging, addiction, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

She starts from the view that each person is the expert on their own story. Sessions focus on the client's experience and on identifying strengths they already have. Conversations are practical and grounded, aimed at helping people manage painful feelings and make steps that matter to them.

Nancy uses a mix of concrete methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect mood and behavior, while Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to the client's priorities. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to build motivation and set short-term goals.

In a typical session she listens, reflects, and helps clients try small changes between meetings. Work may include planning steps for coping with grief, organizing supports for mood swings, or practicing skills to reduce isolation. She encourages people to test what works and adjust as they go.

Her background spans many settings across four decades. That experience shapes a practical style that focuses on problem solving, clearer thinking, and steady progress toward whatever the client names as important.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client's priorities. In practice it means sessions are led by the client's concerns and progress at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thought patterns and tests small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety.

Nancy treats finding the right approach as a collaborative task. She will discuss options with each person, try methods that match their goals, and adjust the plan based on what the person finds helpful. Deciding together is part of the work rather than a one-time choice.

Confirm the specific session formats available before scheduling. Once formats are known, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and let people connect without commuting. These practical benefits help people try consistent steps between meetings while working around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints.
