Nancy Brighton, LCSW

Nancy Brighton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 53 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. She also addresses anger, ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or self-esteem concerns.

Her approach treats the person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and everyday coping strategies. She listens for what matters to the client and works alongside them to try different ways of responding to hard situations.

Therapy often blends several methods. Nancy uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice feelings and choose actions that align with their values. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns in relationships and how they affect anger or closeness.

Sessions can include emotion regulation skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when intense feelings are part of the picture. The client-centered stance means conversations are guided by the client’s concerns and pace. Practical problem solving and coaching elements turn insights into day-to-day changes.

Her long experience includes many areas beyond common mood concerns, such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, adoption and attachment topics, and control or communication issues. People who prefer clear, steady guidance about next steps often find this style useful.
