About Nancy
Nancy Neukomm is an Illinois LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 19 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma, and social anxiety and phobia.
She focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Sessions include talking through current problems, practicing stress management skills, and creating small, achievable goals. Nancy emphasizes listening and reflecting back what clients bring to help clarify next steps.
Her background includes paid and volunteer work with a wide range of people. She has provided individual counseling, led group work, and taught in shelter programs. She has also worked with formerly incarcerated men through a prison ministry and volunteered at a local food pantry.
Nancy has run counseling programs, supervised other counselors, and currently supervises an intern from Walden University. That supervisory work informs how she organizes treatment plans and follows progress over time.
In the room she blends straightforward approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness with emotionally-focused and solution-oriented methods. That mix is used to identify patterns, practice new responses, and track small milestones toward clearer functioning.
People who reach out can expect practical recommendations to use between sessions, collaborative goal setting, and a steady focus on manageable steps toward improvement.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Nancy commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage panic or obsessive thoughts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's perspective, with the therapist reflecting concerns back and helping clarify priorities and goals.She also uses Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationship issues are central. That approach helps name emotions and improve communication patterns that contribute to repeated conflict or distance.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first sessions. Nancy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This is a shared process focused on clear, manageable steps.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people choose online work because it can fit into a busy day, make scheduling easier, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Discuss format details during the matching and scheduling step so sessions suit daily life and practical needs.
