Nancy Drose

Nancy Drose is a licensed independent social worker with clinical practice (LISW-CP) who helps people facing major life changes and emotional strain. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and coping after loss or trauma. Nancy writes plainly and listens carefully so people can start with small steps toward feeling steadier.

She uses straightforward talk and practical exercises to help people manage symptoms and make decisions more confidently. Sessions often include skills for handling strong emotions, improving communication, and building routines that support sleep and daily functioning. Nancy draws on therapy methods that emphasize acceptance, mindfulness, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.

With nine years of clinical experience in South Carolina, Nancy has worked with people navigating career shifts, parenting stress, adoption and foster care issues, and breakup or divorce transitions. She also supports those dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, or impulsivity to create clearer personal boundaries and healthier patterns.

Her approach balances warmth with structure. She offers listening and practical tools so clients can practice new ways of responding between sessions. Progress is framed as steady, manageable changes rather than overnight fixes.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative process that looks at immediate coping needs and longer-term goals. Nancy helps clients translate insight into simple strategies for everyday life, so coping with life changes feels more possible and less overwhelming.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, then commit to steps that reflect personal values. This helps when life changes leave someone feeling stuck or unsure which direction to take. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioral experiments to shift mood and activity levels; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be useful for stress, anger, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Nancy will talk with each person about their goals, daily routines, and what feels most workable. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress and new needs emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session options before booking since formats are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It also lets people practice new skills in their everyday settings and bring real-life situations directly into sessions for problem solving.
