About Nancy

Nancy Purohit is a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, LGBTQ+-related issues, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 10 years of clinical experience, she works with clients facing a wide range of difficulties including ADHD-related struggles, grief, trauma, and career or identity questions. Nancy emphasizes practical skills and compassionate support to help clients regain a sense of agency and direction.

Her approach blends structured techniques and empathetic listening, drawing on methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor work to each person’s needs.

She encourages clients to view beginning therapy as a courageous step and collaborates to set attainable goals, build coping strategies, and address patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Nancy aims to create a respectful space where people from diverse backgrounds can explore values, resolve painful emotions, and discover clearer pathways forward.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Nancy integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work in practical, accessible ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through real-world behavior changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes clarifying personal values and building flexible responses to painful emotions, supporting clients facing life transitions, identity concerns, or chronic stress.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Nancy partners with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adapts techniques over time, combining structured skill-building with empathetic, client-centered listening so treatment remains relevant and responsive to progress and setbacks.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapeutic work into busy schedules and to use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needs change, while allowing licensed professionals to apply CBT, ACT, and related tools in ways that are practical and supportive.
