About Nancy

Nancy Brighton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 53 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She also supports concerns such as ADHD, addiction, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and work-related strain.

Nancy listens for what matters most to each person and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and builds on existing strengths. Sessions typically include straightforward conversation, problem-solving, and skills practice aimed at reducing symptoms and improving coping.

Her work draws from several well-known approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based methods. Nancy uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new ways of responding, and repair important relationships.

Over five decades in the field have shaped a pragmatic style. She brings varied clinical experience to issues that cross emotional, behavioral, and life-domain boundaries. That includes challenges tied to caregiving, chronic illness, body image, and work or career stress.

People who choose her often want clear strategies and steady support as they make changes. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's process to match and schedule a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the professional standards for a Florida LCSW.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how relationships shape reactions and trust, and it can be useful for intimacy, relationship conflict, and trauma-related problems.

Nancy will work collaboratively to find which approaches fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. Deciding on an approach is part of the early sessions, and adjustments are made over time based on what helps in day-to-day life.

Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to remote sessions so clients can practice skills and address relationship patterns without changing the core therapeutic work.
