Nancy Truett, LPC

Nancy Truett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 23 years of experience in counseling and clinical mental health. She draws on a long career in schools, agencies, and residential treatment to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship pain. Nancy aims to create a calm, straightforward space where adults can talk through what matters most to them.

Her background includes work with people in K-12 and college settings, as well as adults in residential substance use treatment. She has focused much of her clinical and research work on women, abuse, and trauma, and she often brings arts-based activities into counseling. Nancy also has training in trauma approaches and values practical tools that people can use between sessions.

In sessions she uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered methods, and trauma-focused tools to address symptoms and life challenges. She helps people look at patterns, practice new ways of coping, and set clear, manageable goals. Treatment conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Nancy works with many concerns including depression, bipolar symptoms, addiction, parenting strain, intimacy and relationship issues, eating and body concerns, ADHD, career stress, and worry about family patterns. She also helps people facing divorce, infidelity, codependency, guilt, and isolation.

People who connect well with her tend to want clear strategies alongside space to process feelings. Her style mixes practical problem solving with attention to emotional experience. She supports clients as they take steps toward healthier routines and relationships.

Approaches that translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday problems by teaching practical skills and short exercises to practice between sessions.

Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects concerns, and helps people find their own solutions and strengths. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that uses memory processing techniques to reduce the intensity of painful memories; it can be helpful for people dealing with past abuse or severe trauma.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Nancy will discuss options and tailor the plan to the person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. She combines methods when useful and checks in to adjust the focus as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people practice skills face to face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging works well for brief check-ins or when typing is preferable. These formats let therapy fit into work, school, and family routines without long commutes.
