About
About Nancy
Nancy Brighton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 53 years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Her practice also includes attention to codependency and related issues such as communication problems, boundary struggles, and caregiving stress.
Nancy treats people as the experts on their own lives. She listens to the story you bring and helps identify the next practical steps. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can use between meetings, and small changes that make daily life easier.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to valued action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot thinking patterns that keep anxiety or low mood going. Attachment-based ideas inform work around intimacy, trust, and repeating relationship patterns.
Nancy also brings tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills when feelings feel overwhelming. The client-centered stance keeps the work grounded in the person’s priorities and pace. Over decades of practice she has helped people with substance concerns, parenting strain, grief, and identity questions.
Her language of work is English and she practices in Florida. She supports people who want practical skills, clearer boundaries, and steadier regulation in relationships and daily life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values; it can help with anxiety, life transitions, and codependency patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for stress, low mood, and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current trust and intimacy, which can help when boundaries or closeness are difficult.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to test methods, see what helps, and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. That means trying skills, noticing what changes, and shifting course when something doesn’t fit.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and interact. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, use the first sessions to agree on a practical plan that fits schedules and daily life.
