About Nancy

Nancy Orlopp is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, depression, ADHD, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and aim to address practical problems that affect daily life and family routines.

Her approach combines several established methods. She draws from client-centered work to prioritize the client's perspective and from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at attachment and closeness in relationships. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions, and the Gottman Method for relationship communication and repair.

Nancy describes working with LGBTQ+ people and neurodivergent adults, and she notes attention to aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, divorce and separation, and polyamory or non-monogamous relationship concerns. She brings these focus areas into sessions without assuming a single path forward; the conversation shapes the plan.

Her style is practical and direct. Sessions typically include talking through current problems, identifying patterns that get in the way, and practicing skills or new ways of relating. Clients leaving sessions often have clear next steps to try between meetings.

Nancy also mentions a Christian perspective as part of her background. That can be included in discussion when it feels relevant to a client’s values and goals. She works from New York as an LCSW and offers services in English.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's concerns back so they can be clearer about what they want to change. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to sort through decisions and feelings.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns of connection and disconnection in close relationships. It helps people name attachment-related hurts and work on rebuilding trust and closeness. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving tolerance for stress, which is useful for mood problems and trauma-related emotion spikes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try an approach that fits, and adjust over time based on what helps. That means sessions can mix listening, skills practice, and relationship work as needed.

The practical upside of meeting online is that it can fit more easily into a workday or caregiving schedule and reduce travel time. If you need shorter check-ins or less time on camera, mention that when you schedule so options can be discussed. Confirm the current session formats before booking to be sure they meet your needs.
