About Nancy
Nancy Neukomm is a warm, attentive LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) based in Illinois who helps people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps people can take and listens closely to each person's story. Her approach emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.
With 19 years of experience, Nancy blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive and emotion-focused methods. She uses short-term goals and problem-solving to break bigger challenges into manageable steps. She also encourages simple self-reflection and stress-management practices between sessions.
Her background includes work in shelters, a prison ministry, and a community food pantry, where she provided individual counseling, group work, and teaching. She has run counseling programs, supervised other counselors, and maintains a private practice while supervising an intern from Walden University.
In sessions she stays respectful and solution-oriented. She helps people identify small milestones and build on them over time. Practical tools may include behavior-based strategies, emotion work, and communication skills depending on what a person needs.
Nancy aims to create a calm space for people to talk through things like grief, addiction, ADHD challenges, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, chronic illness, and career stress. She works collaboratively and adapts methods to fit what each person brings to therapy.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns back, asks clarifying questions, and supports people to find their own solutions. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, uncertainty, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers clear, practical exercises such as tracking thoughts and trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with core emotions to improve connection and manage strong feelings, which can be useful for relationship stress and grief. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT techniques, EFT work, or a mix will best match their needs, goals, and preferences. For practical matters, confirm the session formats available before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Speak with the therapist when scheduling to learn what session types are offered and how they can fit into everyday routines.Areas of expertise
