Nancy Busch, LCSW

Nancy Busch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in behavioral health. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. She also supports people facing career strain and compassion fatigue.

Busch has worked across inpatient psychiatric units, community mental health, and on military bases both in the U.S. and abroad. She has experience with active duty and retired service members and first responders. That background informs how she talks about trauma and post-traumatic stress in sessions.

Her approach is client-centered. Early sessions focus on building a working relationship and clarifying what the person hopes to change. She combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods to address thinking patterns and practical steps forward.

When trauma is involved she draws on trauma-focused strategies alongside other methods to help people process difficult experiences. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship communication is part of the concern. The emphasis is on clear, practical conversations rather than clinical jargon.

Sessions are collaborative. Nancy and the client set goals together and pick techniques that fit those goals. She explains options and helps people try different approaches to see what helps most.

People who reach out can expect direct, plain talk about what to try next and small, achievable steps toward better control of anger, anxiety, or stress.
