About Nancy

Nancy Neukomm is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 19 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma, and related life changes. Her approach is practical and paced, focusing on small steps people can use right away.

She uses client-centered listening as a base. From there she brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thinking patterns that fuel anger or anxiety. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice strong emotions without being swept away.

Nancy has worked in a variety of community settings, including shelters, a prison ministry program, and a local food pantry. That community work sits alongside time running counseling programs and supervising other counselors. She also supervises an intern from Walden University and maintains a private practice in Illinois.

In sessions she favors concrete strategies and short exercises to practice between meetings. People leave with simple steps for managing impulses, lowering reactivity, and repairing strained relationships. She encourages regular check-ins on progress and adjusts plans as needed.

Her style is straightforward and focused on skills people can use at home or work. If someone wants to address anger that shows up at work, in close relationships, or around parenting, she offers techniques and ongoing support to build different habits.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship. Online sessions use that same plain listening to identify the situations that cause anger and stress, and to set practical goals for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. In remote sessions this turns into short skill practice, homework, and reviewing small experiments that reduce reactivity.

Emotionally-Focused ideas help people track patterns in close relationships and learn new ways to connect. When anger shows up between partners or co-parents, these tools help people name what they feel and try alternative responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels useful and pick techniques to match goals and daily life. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is tracked.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, allow brief check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where anger typically appears, then bring notes back to the next meeting for review.
