Nancy Drose

Nancy Drose is a licensed social worker (LISW-CP) practicing in South Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, career concerns, and the ups and downs of family life. She focuses on clear, practical steps so clients can manage daily challenges and make steady progress. Nancy aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters most to them.

Her work often centers on relationship strain, parenting pressures, trauma and grief, sleep problems, and difficulty with emotional regulation. She uses straightforward tools to help people change unhelpful patterns and respond differently to stressful situations. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to what a person needs right now.

Nancy draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness. These methods are used to build coping skills, reduce avoidance, and increase values-based action. She adapts techniques to fit each person’s story rather than applying a single method to everyone.

With nine years of clinical experience, Nancy brings practical judgment and steady support to the work. She has helped people navigate adoption and foster care issues, attachment questions, abandonment worries, and caregiver stress. Her background includes assisting those dealing with codependency, impulsivity, and communication or commitment problems.

People who choose Nancy can expect thoughtful listening, concrete strategies, and a focus on small changes that add up. She encourages pacing that feels manageable while working toward clearer goals and improved day-to-day functioning.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters and take small steps in that direction. It supports people who feel stuck by combining acceptance of hard feelings with practical action toward personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and everyday stress by teaching specific skills to change reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

For online work, check the current session options before booking so expectations match available formats. Many people find virtual sessions easier to fit into a busy week, let them keep regular appointments during life transitions, or reduce the time needed for travel. Others appreciate being able to use mindfulness or CBT exercises between meetings. Confirm formats and scheduling details when you start so sessions align with daily routines and goals.
