Nancy Solow , LICSW

Nancy Solow is an independent clinical social worker licensed in Massachusetts with 27 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. As a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker), she brings deep experience in adoption, foster care, and early trauma while also addressing a broad array of concerns such as grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relationship and family problems, stress, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, career matters, and compassion fatigue.

Her therapeutic stance is strengths-based, warm, and interactive, and she adapts interventions to fit each person or family's needs. Nancy integrates training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Family Systems, Attachment-based therapy, ARC (Attachment, Regulation, Competency), Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, and Solutions Oriented Brief Therapy, grounding her work in compassionate listening and respect for the individual. She aims to create a nonjudgmental environment where people can explore new understanding, regain direction, and build hope.

Reaching out for help can take courage, and Nancy approaches that step with empathy and practical focus. Her practice emphasizes tailoring treatment strategies to each client's history and goals while helping them develop skills for coping and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Nancy integrates attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques to address emotional and relational concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people who struggle with trust, intimacy, abandonment, or attachment issues rebuild safer connections. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, creating space for clients to lead the pace of change and explore values, self-worth, and life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Nancy works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so interventions feel relevant and manageable, and she revisits the plan as progress guides new directions.

Online therapy expands access to care through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in therapy from familiar environments while working with licensed professionals who use approaches suited to each client.
