About Nancy
Nancy Purohit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are trying to manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, and the hassles of life change. She also supports people with relationship concerns, parenting questions, ADHD-related difficulties, and LGBTQ+ issues.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot patterns that feed anger and anxiety and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people choose actions that match their values. Client-Centered methods guide how she listens and responds, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are helpful.
Sessions are focused on concrete steps clients can try between meetings. That might look like identifying triggers, practicing specific breathing or grounding techniques, or testing new ways of speaking up at work or home. She frames these as experiments rather than tests of character.
Nancy emphasizes collaboration. She helps people set short-term goals and adjusts tools to fit how they live and work. She encourages clear discussion about what is and isn’t helping as therapy progresses.
Her background includes a decade of work across varied settings supporting adults from diverse backgrounds. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients. Prospective clients are asked to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the practice intake flow.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. Online sessions can use ACT to work through decisions, values-based goals, and patterns that contribute to anger or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions, CBT is often used to spot triggers, try short experiments between appointments, and track what changes in daily life. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then recommend techniques from ACT, CBT, or DBT skills where appropriate. Clients and therapist check in regularly and adjust methods if something feels off or unhelpful. Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients practice strategies in the contexts where challenges occur, such as at work or at home, and then bring observations back into sessions for review.Areas of focus
