About Nancy
Nancy Brighton is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with a long career helping people through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, and major life changes. She emphasizes listening first and building on each person’s strengths. Her style is steady and supportive, aimed at helping someone take practical steps toward a more manageable day-to-day life.
Nancy works from the belief that each person knows important things about their own story.
Background and approach
She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps set small, achievable goals. Sessions focus on clear skills you can use between meetings and on ways to reshape unhelpful patterns. Hypnotherapy may be used as one option to access thoughts and feelings that feel stuck.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered techniques are also part of how she helps people notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and accept difficult feelings while moving toward chosen values. Her approach also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns. That can help when communication, trust, or closeness feel difficult.
Nancy draws on decades of experience to tailor approaches to what each person needs in the moment. She speaks English and practices in Florida. With many years of work behind her, Nancy aims to make therapy practical, understandable, and focused on real changes people can carry into their daily lives.

Online support
Approaches you can use online
Hypnotherapy is an option Nancy may use to help people access deeper thoughts and feelings and to practice new ways of thinking about difficult memories or habits. It can be useful for stress, sleep issues, and changing patterns that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small committed actions even when strong feelings are present.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nancy will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their situation. She treats the work as collaborative and adjusts pacing and techniques based on what works for the individual.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues and a longer conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These choices help make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
