About Nancy
LCMHC in North Carolina with 25 years of experience, Nancy Hartman focuses on relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She works from a person-centered standpoint and views clients as experts in their own stories. Nancy aims to help people take the first step toward change and supports practical work on the issues that brought them to therapy.
She uses person-centered therapy as the foundation of her work and incorporates Brainspotting and Critical Incident Stress Debriefing where appropriate. Nancy also draws on Attachment Theory and Personality Mapping to help people understand patterns in relationships and feeling states. Her approach includes attention to spiritual and religious concerns when clients bring those issues up.
Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying strengths, and practicing skills for more effective communication and self-understanding. She helps people process trauma responses, grief, and difficult relationship transitions in straightforward language. The work often includes exploring feelings of abandonment, guilt, shame, isolation, and issues around control and forgiveness.
Nancy also addresses practical life stressors such as caregiver stress, money and financial issues, workplace challenges, and body image concerns. She notes experience with panic attacks and post-traumatic stress and offers approaches intended to reduce distress and increase day-to-day coping. Her faith-informed perspective is available if clients wish to include spiritual beliefs in their work.
People who choose Nancy normally complete an intake process that identifies goals and priorities. From there she helps clarify next steps, whether that means short-term coping strategies or a longer course of therapy focused on relationship patterns and personal growth.

Therapeutic methods and how they translate to online work
Person-centered therapy focuses on listening, clarifying goals, and using a person’s existing strengths to guide change. In practice this means sessions emphasize open conversation, reflective feedback, and collaboratively set aims that can be worked on between meetings.Brainspotting targets body sensations and attention to help process traumatic material. It typically involves tracking where attention and physical responses intersect to reduce distress and improve regulation. Critical Incident Stress Debriefing offers a structured way to address acute stress reactions after a specific event and can help organize immediate coping steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the original biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about current session options and any practical considerations when you schedule your first meeting.
