She supports people facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, challenges with self-esteem and confidence, and recovery from narcissistic abuse, guiding each person toward clearer goals and improved coping.

Nanette creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly.

She draws on evidence-informed methods, tailoring her approach to each person's needs and strengths. Nanette aims to empower clients to take meaningful first steps toward change, offering steady support while helping them build practical tools for everyday challenges. Her style emphasizes collaboration, respect for multicultural backgrounds, and attention to individual differences such as neurodiversity and intellectual disability.

Online therapeutic approaches and remote care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more constructive patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress, low motivation, and difficulties with mood and coping.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques for reducing emotional reactivity. This approach can support people managing grief, stress, self-esteem concerns, and compassion fatigue by strengthening attention and self-compassion.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences through gentle, structured work that helps process memories and reduce their hold on daily life. It can be useful for people recovering from abusive relationships or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and Nanette works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so therapy remains responsive and supportive.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to access care around work, caregiving, or location constraints. These options allow ongoing therapeutic work to fit into varied schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
