About Nancy
Nancy Truett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 23 years of clinical work. She combines a background in counseling, substance abuse treatment, and college counseling to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She uses clear, conversational techniques in sessions.
Nancy draws on client-centered work to hear each person’s story and build a practical plan together. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to break down thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anger cycling.
Background and approach
Nancy has long experience in different settings, including agency work, independent practice, K-12, and college counseling. That range shaped her to be adaptable and direct when a person needs concrete steps to feel steadier. Her work has included substance abuse treatment and trauma-informed care.
Her training in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, informs how she approaches trauma and intense emotional memories. She also brings motivational interviewing and narrative therapy techniques to help people change patterns and make meaning from difficult experiences.
Nancy holds a master’s degree in Educational Psychology-Community & Mental Health Counseling from the University of Tennessee and a BA in Literature-Creative Writing from the University of North Carolina. She often weaves arts-based approaches into counseling. She is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Tennessee in Educational Psychology & Research, Adult Learning.
In practice she aims for practical tools and steady support. Sessions focus on workable steps for managing anger, coping with loss, handling relationship and family stress, and reducing anxiety so daily life feels more manageable.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience. In practice that means the therapist reflects what the client says, helps prioritize concerns, and co-creates goals that feel relevant to daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anger, anxiety, and low mood.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and try techniques that match the client’s goals and comfort level. Decisions are collaborative so the plan can shift as progress is made or needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are; phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to send quick updates, share exercises, or check in between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
