About Nancy
LCSW in Arizona with 15 years of experience, Nancy Busch focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and related concerns using client-centered methods and evidence-based therapies. She has worked in inpatient psychiatric settings, community mental health, and on military bases both in the U.S. and abroad.
Nancy emphasizes a client-centered approach. Early sessions focus on building a working relationship and clarifying what matters most to the client. She combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused methods to address symptoms and practical problems.
Her background includes work with active duty and retired service members and first responders. That experience informs how she talks about trauma, post-traumatic stress, panic, and the stressors those roles bring. She also addresses depression, anger, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions aim to identify concrete goals and small steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and shift behavior. Solution-Focused tools help find immediate, practical changes and coping strategies.
Nancy frames therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to set priorities, try interventions, and adjust the plan as needed. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the client’s priorities. The therapist focuses on understanding the client’s perspective and shaping sessions around what the client says matters most. This approach helps people who need space to clarify goals and feel heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and structured. It helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then tests small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets responses to traumatic events and uses focused techniques to reduce post-traumatic stress and related reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekly routine, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They also make it possible to continue work with a licensed professional when in-person visits are difficult to arrange.
