About Nancy
Nancy Gilmer is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. Nancy aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so people can find relief and clearer direction.
Nancy uses a collaborative style in sessions. She listens without judgment and works with each person to set realistic goals. Sessions often include mindfulness skills and strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behavior.
Background and approach
Her background includes two decades of clinical work with adults facing mood disorders, substance use concerns, and burnout. She has particular experience supporting people handling grief, caregiving strains, and the emotional fallout of trauma and loss. Her Kentucky license is LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.
Nancy draws on acceptance-based methods and cognitive approaches to help people manage difficult feelings and get back to daily life. She also brings existential ideas when clients want to work on life purpose and meaning. Conversations can include practical coping tools as well as deeper reflection when that fits the person’s goals.
People who choose Nancy often want a calm, steady practitioner who offers clear steps and space to process. She accepts clients in English and is available for international consultations. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Nancy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can ease stuck patterns around anger, guilt, or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying practical tools first, and then adding value-focused or deeper existential conversations if that suits the person.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates, reflections, and between-session contact when ongoing written interaction helps progress.
