Nancy Bevins

Nancy Bevins is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and life transitions. She works with adults on issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating struggles, and coping with life changes. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She treats each person as the expert on their life and builds plans together.

Nancy uses clear, practical methods rather than jargon. She draws from client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and test different behaviors. Dialectical behavior techniques and motivational interviewing help when emotions feel overwhelming or when making big changes is difficult.

She has about 10 years of counseling experience and holds an LPC credential. Her background includes undergraduate and master’s degrees from Lindsey Wilson College and ongoing doctoral study at Capella University. That mix informs a thoughtful, steady approach to care.

Sessions focus on doable steps and real-life goals. Conversations tend to be practical and goal-oriented, with space for emotion and reflection. Nancy helps people set priorities, try small changes, and track what works over time.

People often seek her help for midlife shifts, blended family challenges, symptoms of mood disorders, addictive patterns, and questions about life purpose. She offers a calm, patient presence while helping clients practice new skills and make forward movement.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. In practice it means conversations that reflect the client’s priorities and pace, useful for coping with life changes, relationship concerns, and identity questions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood disorder symptoms.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical ways to reduce reactive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to select methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Different formats make it easier to fit sessions into daily life - for example, shorter check-ins can work around a busy schedule, or video visits allow face-to-face interaction without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered work to remote sessions so the focus stays on practical skills and steady progress.
