About Nancy
Nancy Bevins is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with ten years of clinical experience based in West Virginia. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger, and other mood and behavior issues. Nancy values a direct, collaborative approach where the client’s knowledge about their life guides the work.
Her day-to-day style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and problem solving rather than long theoretical discussion. She blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
Nancy encourages honest, open conversation. She uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions when needed. That mix helps people regulate strong feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and rebuild trust in relationships.
Her training began with a B.A. from Lindsey Wilson College and a Master of Education from the same school. She is listed as an LPC in West Virginia and also holds LPC credentials in Virginia. Nancy is currently completing a Doctorate in Psychology at Capella University.
Practical first steps in sessions include setting clear, achievable goals and learning concrete tools to handle anger, sleeping problems, cravings, or intrusive thoughts. The emphasis is on skills you can use between sessions to make daily life easier.
How sessions work
How Nancy’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client so they can decide the next steps. It’s useful for people who need a steady, respectful place to talk through anger, grief, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests small changes. It helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habits that fuel angry reactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Those techniques are often used when strong feelings spike and someone wants tools to respond differently in the moment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nancy collaborates with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT skills, client-centered conversation, or a mix will be most helpful. She adapts the plan over time based on the person’s goals and how they respond to different techniques.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a break, or avoiding travel time after work. It also lets therapists and clients use worksheets, skill-practice, and paced exposure exercises between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.
