About Nancy
Nancy Benner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oregon with 24 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, grief, addictions, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
She focuses on practical help. Sessions tend to look like clear conversations about what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She listens for strengths and patterns, and then helps people try small, doable steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Nancy uses methods that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, Gottman Method tools for relationship issues, and mindfulness practices. That mix lets her address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, communication, and everyday routines in concrete ways.
Her background across two decades has involved varied clinical settings and a steady focus on helping adults manage difficult transitions and long-standing problems. She pays attention to how relationships, stress, and past hurts affect current functioning and coping.
People who choose her work with a practitioner who keeps sessions grounded and practical. Expectations and goals are discussed early. Progress is tracked in ways that aim to fit into busy lives and real responsibilities.
BHow sessions work
Approach-driven online sessions and what they look like
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspectives. It means the therapist follows the client’s concerns, listens closely, and helps clarify what the client wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses simple exercises and homework to change how thinking affects mood and actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness through skill practice and step-by-step strategies.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Nancy will help figure out the best fit based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, and reduce travel time. They can also allow people to use sessions when they need focused skill practice or communication coaching without rearranging a day. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so practical needs can be matched to session logistics.
