About Nancy

Nancy Purohit is a licensed professional counselor with 10 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. She also supports those facing LGBTQ+ concerns, parenting strain, and challenges related to ADHD. Taking a first step toward counseling can feel hard, and she aims to make that step easier for you.

Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small actions that matter. Client-Centered Therapy guides her to listen carefully and shape sessions around each person’s values and goals.

Nancy focuses on building everyday skills for coping and impulse control. She works on strategies for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing stress at work or home. Sessions include straightforward exercises, goal setting, and real-world practice between meetings.

She brings a calm, respectful style that aims to reduce shame and increase self-compassion. Topics she commonly addresses include grief, guilt, forgiveness, identity questions, and finding purpose. Her work often involves pacing steps that fit into a person’s daily life.

Nancy practices in South Carolina as an LPC. She offers therapy in English and applies a multicultural lens to understand how background and identity affect wellbeing. If you are looking for a therapist who focuses on practical change and steady support, her style may fit your needs.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Clients and the therapist check in about what helps and adjust methods over time rather than sticking to a single plan.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also make it simpler to do homework between sessions, practice new skills in daily life, and track changes week to week. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions so the work stays practical and action oriented.
