Dr. Nancy Simpson

Dr. Nancy Simpson is a South Carolina psychologist with 20 years of experience. She holds the credential SC Psychologist 731 and lists stress, anxiety, parenting, bipolar disorder, depression, and life purpose among her main concerns.

She returned to clinical work after a long teaching career at a community college. Early in her career she worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and performed neuropsychological assessments. That background informs how she listens and organizes sessions now.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and use mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity. She also talks through past patterns that keep showing up and helps set short-term goals for change.

Dr. Simpson often addresses life transitions, caregiving stress, grief, workplace issues, and questions about life purpose. She also works with mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder. Sessions can involve practical coping strategies alongside reflective conversation about long-standing patterns.

Outside clinical work she manages a hobby farm, makes cheese, tends honey bees, and practices historic crafts. That slower-paced life shapes her practical and grounded style in sessions. To begin, readers are asked to use the online therapy options to complete a matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Simpson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to test small, manageable changes. CBT is practical and helps with anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and low mood. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice sensations, thoughts, and emotions without immediately reacting, which can reduce reactivity and support coping during transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with clients about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process looks at both short-term actions and longer-term patterns so clients can decide what feels most useful.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people practice skills in real-life settings and bring immediate examples into conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so the work fits into everyday routines.
