About Nancy

Nancy Arnovits is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 32 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and related issues. Her approach is direct and flexible, aimed at finding what works for each person.

She spent much of her career at a large public teaching hospital in Miami, Florida. That work brought experience with many different health and life challenges, including survivors of sexual assault and people in correctional settings. Those roles shaped a practical, down-to-earth style of counseling.

Nancy uses a mix of methods rather than one fixed plan. She may draw on client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused steps, acceptance and commitment ideas, or dialectical behavior tools depending on the need. The goal is to help people learn new ways of thinking and coping that fit their daily lives.

She has particular interest in supporting people in the LGBT community and in addressing compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. Nancy says she likes challenging situations and values learning alongside her clients.

Her work is shaped by practical experience and a willingness to adapt methods to each person. If someone wants help calming anger, managing mood swings, or finding clearer communication, she aims to create straightforward steps they can try between sessions.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and gently shift toward actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing anger by focusing on what matters most rather than getting stuck on difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It often helps with anxiety, mood problems, sleep issues, and patterns that feed anger.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nancy will work with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, daily life, and what feels workable. She aims to try practical steps and adjust as needed rather than sticking to a single plan.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit more easily into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and let sessions happen during a lunch break or between errands. Online sessions can also make it easier to practice skills in real-world settings where the challenges occur. Ask about current formats when you schedule so you know how sessions will be held.
