About Nancy
Nancy Orlopp is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, mood changes, and sleep problems. She brings eight years of clinical experience and aims to make therapy clear and practical for people juggling family and work. Nancy works with adults and brings attention to identity, neurodiversity, and the pressures that come with caregiving and career change.
Her sessions focus on what a person needs right now. Nancy listens for the patterns that get in the way of rest, connection, and daily functioning. She uses that information to plan small, doable steps that can be practiced between meetings. This can include skills for managing distress, ways to improve communication, or strategies to support better sleep.
Nancy draws from several therapy approaches to fit a client’s style and goals. She uses client-centered work to follow a person’s lead and psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring patterns from the past. She also applies elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotion regulation or relationship repair is a focus.
Her background includes supporting LGBTQ+ people and neurodivergent adults, and she pays attention to how cultural and spiritual values shape choices. Nancy notes a Christian perspective may inform conversations when it matters to the client.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Nancy encourages people to bring the real, messy parts of life into therapy so they can test changes that make daily life smoother and nights more restful.
How Nancy’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions prioritize the client's goals and the therapist reflects back what she hears to help clarify next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions and reducing overwhelm, which can be useful when sleep or stress are disrupting daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on emotions and attachment patterns to help people repair connection and feel safer in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nancy treats it as a collaboration - she and the client will explore which methods fit the person’s goals, preferences, and current challenges. That plan can change over time as needs shift or progress is made.
For online therapy logistics, please confirm available session options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy week by removing commute time and offering easier scheduling around work or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed, or let someone choose an audio-only session if less bandwidth is preferable. When specifics matter, the therapist and client will agree on session length and frequency that suit daily life.
