About Nancy
Nancy Solow is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts with 27 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage strong emotions, life transitions, grief, stress, and relationship strain. Nancy aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where clients can talk through problems and find clearer ways forward.
Her approach is warm and strengths-based. She listens closely and adapts methods to fit each person’s needs rather than following a single formula.
Background and approach
Sessions are interactive and practical, with attention to how early relationships and attachment patterns show up in current life challenges. Nancy often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered work to rebuild trust and connection in relationships.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are available when people want tools for managing stress or staying focused on change. Her experience includes long-term work with adoption, foster care, and early trauma, and she has supported people coping with loss, caregiver stress, and career transitions. Many come to address anger, intimacy concerns, shame, or social anxiety.
Nancy offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She helps clients identify realistic goals and practical steps they can take between sessions. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Nancy commonly blends attachment-informed work and cognitive behavioral strategies in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behaviors and helps people build safer ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger.She also brings a client-centered stance, offering empathic listening and collaboration so goals reflect what matters to each person. Choosing the right mix is a team effort; Nancy will talk with clients about their priorities and try different approaches until something fits the client’s needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, which let people pick what works logistically and emotionally. Video is useful for more in-depth work and reading facial cues, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, quick check-ins fit well as chat, and text messages can support short reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
