Nancy Bevins, LPC

Nancy Bevins is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship struggles, and midlife transitions. She works with adults on mood concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, and challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her approach centers on hearing each person's goals and building a plan together.

She describes therapy as a joint effort where the client's self-knowledge guides the work. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical changes rather than jargon. Nancy draws on techniques from client-centered therapy to keep conversations grounded in the client's experience.

Nancy also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. She incorporates solution-focused and motivational strategies to set small, achievable steps and to strengthen motivation for change.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Education from Lindsey Wilson College, and she is working toward a doctorate in psychology at Capella University. She holds LPC credentials in West Virginia and Virginia and has spent a decade in clinical practice with adults facing mood and behavioral concerns.

People who meet with Nancy can expect straightforward conversation, concrete tools to try between sessions, and a focus on measurable progress. She aims to help clients find clearer direction, reduce distress, and build skills that fit everyday life.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead to build trust and clear goals. It helps when someone needs a space to talk through feelings and to make decisions about next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it often suits anxiety, depression, sleep or eating difficulties, and many mood concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming.

Nancy treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with clients about goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan based on what works. That collaborative process helps match methods to the client's needs and preferences.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as this profile does not assume any specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting someone join without arranging childcare. Licensed professionals can use video or phone to guide skill practice, review homework, and coach through steps between sessions, helping therapy fit into everyday routines.
