About Nancy
Nancy Bodnar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 18 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, and life changes. She also helps with issues like addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and low self-esteem.
Nancy earned a Master of Social Work from Hunter College School of Social Work in 2002. She has worked in private practice and in outpatient hospital settings. She is School Social Work Certified and a member of the National Association of Social Workers.
Her sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can use right away. She draws on talk-based approaches to identify patterns, test small changes, and build clearer ways of coping. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Nancy also uses Client-Centered and Psychodynamic ideas to explore how past relationships affect current patterns. Solution-Focused techniques help set short-term goals and make manageable progress toward them. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and increase calm attention.
She believes working with other professionals is sometimes helpful, and she will suggest that when it fits a person’s needs. People can expect straightforward communication about goals and next steps, with an emphasis on skills that support daily life and relationships.
How Nancy’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective. In practice this means sessions prioritize what matters most to the client and adapt the pace to their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep anxiety or low mood going. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit a client’s situation. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as work proceeds so the sessions stay relevant to everyday life.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people try techniques in the settings where they live and relate, while the therapist and client work together to find the right approach and practical steps forward.
