About Nancy
Nancy Dano is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting struggles. Nancy also supports people coping with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, eating and body-image issues, and life transitions.
She uses a collaborative, paced approach. Sessions start with listening to what matters most to the person. Nancy builds goals together and adjusts the pace so people feel able to try new strategies without pressure.
Her work draws from several well-known methods. She uses Motivational Interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Attachment-Based and client-centered ideas shape how she attends to relational patterns and emotional safety in sessions.
Nancy brings about ten years of clinical experience that includes both inpatient and outpatient settings. That background informs practical skills for crisis response, coping skills, and creating step-by-step plans for change. She blends mindfulness and DBT-informed skills for emotional regulation when helpful.
People who meet with Nancy can expect direct, everyday language, clear goals, and simple tools to practice between sessions. She works with each person at their own pace and adjusts methods to fit their needs and goals.

How Nancy blends approaches for online work
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons to change and find motivation that fits their life. It uses curious, nonjudgmental conversation to strengthen commitment and plan next steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape patterns in close connections, and it helps people try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and pace. She will review options together and adjust techniques as progress is made so the plan fits how a person actually wants to change.
The practical benefits of working online include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, have short check-ins when needed, or continue therapy during travel. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to make sure they fit your routine and preferences. -
