About Nancy

LCSW Nancy Orlopp has eight years of clinical experience based in New York. She focuses on relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. Nancy also works with people managing ADHD, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Nancy uses a mix of established approaches to guide sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and Psychodynamic Therapy to look at patterns that repeat over time. She also uses evidence-based methods such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they fit a person's goals.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps people name a few concrete steps they can try between visits. Therapy can include skills practice, communication work, and reviewing past experiences that shape current relationships. She also brings knowledge of the experiences of LGBTQ people and of neurodivergent adults into clinical planning.

Nancy describes her work as respectful of personal values, including the role faith can play for some clients. She supports people processing divorce and separation, aging and geriatric concerns, and the effects of trauma and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses non-monogamous and polyamorous relationship dynamics when relevant.

People who are curious about therapy with Nancy start by answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. The process is practical and focused on identifying the next steps a person wants to take.

How Nancy applies therapy approaches in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and relies on open listening and reflective conversation to identify what matters most. It can help with decision-making, relationship concerns, and figuring out next steps when life feels unclear.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. This approach is often used when people want concrete tools for handling mood swings, overwhelm, or interpersonal conflict.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) addresses patterns in close relationships by helping people notice and change interaction cycles. EFT can be useful for partners or individuals who want clearer ways to express needs and respond to others.

Nancy treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose which methods to emphasize based on current struggles, goals, and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so techniques match evolving needs.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about session length and format when you schedule the first appointment so it aligns with daily routines.
