Nancy Purohit, LPC

Nancy Purohit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with ten years of experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. Nancy also supports those facing LGBT concerns, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and struggles related to attention and self-doubt.

Her approach is practical and straightforward. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift patterns that get in the way. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and client-centered skills to help clients clarify values and build small, steady changes.

Sessions are conversational and aimed at real-life problems. People can expect clear strategies for coping, pacing, and improving day-to-day functioning. The work can include skill practice, values-based goal setting, and talking through difficult emotions.

Nancy has worked with a range of concerns including trauma, grief, bipolar mood challenges, postpartum depression, and career or life-purpose questions. She pays attention to cultural and identity factors and offers a nonjudgmental space for exploring guilt, shame, forgiveness, and impulse control.

Her style balances practical techniques with empathic listening. Nancy invites clients to set goals together and to try approaches that fit their life. She emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes and supports people through transitions and setbacks.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters most. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will try techniques, adjust as needed, and track what helps most over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a discreet check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to maintain regular contact and practice skills between sessions.
