About Nancy
Nancy Bodnar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 18 years of practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and difficulties related to trauma, addiction, and identity. Nancy also addresses issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
She trained at Hunter College School of Social Work and has worked in both private practice and outpatient hospital settings. That mix of settings means she is used to short-term problem solving and longer-term work. She draws on a range of methods to match what a person needs at the time.
Nancy uses client-centered approaches that focus on what the person wants to change. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new skills. Mindfulness practices are offered to manage stress and reactivity, and psychodynamic ideas can help people understand repeating patterns from earlier relationships.
Her background includes school social work certification and work with community agencies. She has experience supporting people after divorce or separation, with family conflicts, and those coping with loss or major life changes. She also has exposure to substance-use concerns and works with related challenges when they arise.
Nancy is fluent in English and practices in New Jersey. People who want to begin can follow the site's steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what each person wants to change and emphasizes listening and collaboration. Online, this looks like checking current goals, prioritizing a few concrete steps, and adjusting the plan as needs shift. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift patterns. In virtual sessions CBT often includes short skill practice, worksheets to use between meetings, and focused behavioral experiments to try in daily life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These can be demonstrated in session and then practiced during the week to notice small changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help a person choose methods based on their goals, what has or has not worked before, and practical considerations like time and energy. Decisions about technique are collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let people use tools like worksheets and recorded mindfulness exercises between meetings to support progress.
