About Nancy
Nancy Truett is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Tennessee with 23 years of counseling experience. She has worked in agency, college, K-12, and residential substance-abuse settings, and currently directs counseling services at a community college.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and concerns tied to family of origin. Codependency, commitment and control issues, and challenges around substance use and domestic violence are also areas she addresses. She offers approaches aimed at practical change and clearer thinking rather than labels or quick fixes.
Nancy trained in Educational Psychology and Community & Mental Health Counseling at the University of Tennessee and holds a BA in Literature-Creative Writing from the University of North Carolina. She uses arts-based methods at times, drawing on writing and creative work to help people tell their stories differently.
Her work integrates several well-known methods such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. She combines these tools to help people process trauma, change unhelpful patterns, and regain a sense of control in daily life.
She has long experience with substance-abuse treatment and grief and loss, and her clinical focus has emphasized women and psychological and emotional abuse. Her background includes training in cultural studies related to education and work with diverse and marginalized populations.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps when someone needs more clarity about their feelings and wants a steady, respectful listener who follows their pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to shift thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and the emotions tied to them. It is often used when trauma or abuse is a central concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and preferences, then try methods that fit together. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt materials and exercises for remote sessions so practical CBT tasks, narrative writing, or EMDR-related processing can continue without changing the therapeutic aims.
