About Nancy

Nancy Arnovits is a Florida LCSW with over 32 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and anger. She also addresses issues such as sleep and eating problems, self esteem, career struggles, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Her practice grew from long experience in a large public teaching hospital in Miami. That setting exposed her to a wide range of medical and mental health situations. She has counseled people coping with serious illness, survivors of sexual assault, and individuals in correctional settings. She has worked with diverse identities and life stories.

Nancy uses a flexible, pragmatic approach that adapts to what a person needs. She draws on client-centered methods, solution-focused techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, and elements of acceptance and commitment and dialectical behavior therapies. Sessions often focus on learning new ways of thinking and concrete coping skills.

She is direct about challenging problems and willing to work through difficult material. She has particular interest in supporting people from the LGBT community and those facing added stresses from recent events. Nancy describes her style as collaborative and learns alongside the people she meets.

Her background in hospital-based care means she is comfortable with medical and end-of-life issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and crisis situations. People who want practical strategies for anger, communication, or coping with life changes often seek her out.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with chronic worry, low mood, and patterns of avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, often using specific exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful when strong emotions cause repeated problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try, adjust techniques based on progress, and focus on goals the client names. That collaborative process helps shape which tools are used in sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on a work break, reduce travel time, and let people participate when leaving home is difficult. Licensed professionals often combine skill practice, problem-solving, and brief between-session tasks to keep progress moving even when life is busy.
