Nancy Hartman, LCMHC

Nancy Hartman is a licensed counselor in North Carolina with 25 years of experience supporting people through major life changes. She helps with relationship struggles, grief, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and practical coping when life feels overwhelming. Nancy treats caregiver stress and issues related to attachment, abandonment, and traumatic reactions. She also addresses body image, money worries, isolation, and communication problems.

Nancy centers the person in the room and starts from what the client already knows about their life. She uses person-centered care and draws on approaches such as Brainspotting and Attachment Theory to help people access feelings and make sense of patterns. Her perspective includes Christian-informed values when clients want spiritual framing, but she focuses on emotional wellbeing first.

Sessions often emphasize clearer self-understanding and building everyday skills. People work through guilt, shame, and forgiveness, and practice new ways to relate to others. Nancy offers calm guidance for grief, divorce, and workplace stress while helping people name their needs and set realistic next steps.

Her experience includes responding to panic and post-traumatic stress and supporting those coping after distressing events. She aims to walk alongside clients as they clarify life purpose, rebuild confidence, and form healthier connections. To begin, individuals complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Nancy holds the LCMHC credential, which indicates licensure as a professional counselor in North Carolina. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted at this time.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Person-centered work focuses on the client's own goals and strengths and involves active listening and reflective conversation to help people make sense of their lives. This approach is helpful for those wanting support to clarify values, parenting decisions, or relationship needs.

Brainspotting is a technique that helps locate and process held emotional experiences by guiding attention to specific eye positions and bodily sensations. It can assist with trauma responses, panic, and deeply held emotional pain when people are ready to process those experiences.

Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and coping. It can help people understand repeated conflict, fears of abandonment, and ways to build more secure relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped you before, then suggest techniques to try. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan together as progress and needs become clearer.

The original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to choose sessions that match their energy level, such as sitting for a longer conversation or scheduling a brief update between appointments.
