Nancy Drose , LISW-CP

Nancy Drose is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in South Carolina who focuses on guiding people through complex life challenges with compassion and practicality. She holds the LISW-CP credential - Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice - and brings nine years of experience helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles, career issues, ADHD, and other life adjustments.

Nancy emphasizes a person-centered approach that values each individual story, pairing empathetic listening with evidence-based strategies to support healing and growth. She works with diverse populations, including young adults, veterans, and women, and offers particular attention to issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment problems, divorce and separation, and forgiveness.

In sessions she helps clients build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and uncover personal strengths that foster resilience. Nancy integrates therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs. Her aim is to create a collaborative, respectful environment where clients can process past difficulties, navigate transitions, and develop sustainable strategies for emotional well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Nancy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where clients want to move toward a more valued life rather than be held back by avoidance.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches specific skills to shift those patterns. CBT is effective for managing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and many day-to-day challenges.

Nancy blends these methods with client-centered principles that prioritize empathetic listening and collaboration, allowing clients to shape goals and the pace of work. She will help clients explore which approaches feel like the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences, working together to adjust strategies over time.

Online therapy in her practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or those who prefer to work remotely. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access therapeutic support from wherever the client is located within her service area.
