About Nancy

Nancy Maxwell is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Nancy uses a warm, respectful approach and listens closely to each person's priorities.

Nancy has about 20 years of experience in mental health settings. She spent time in community mental health roles, including outpatient and case management work. That background means she is familiar with a wide range of concerns across the lifespan.

Background and approach

Her work often addresses parenting challenges, grief, career stress, compassion fatigue, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, attachment issues, family of origin problems, and communication difficulties. Nancy uses straightforward language and practical strategies during sessions.

Nancy draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral methods, and mindfulness approaches. She adapts methods to match each person's needs and goals rather than following a single model. Sessions emphasize clear goals, problem-solving, and building skills you can use between meetings.

Nancy welcomes conversations about faith if a client prefers that perspective. She aims to offer education, support, and tools that help people feel more capable and hopeful.

Online support

How Nancy Uses Emotion-Focused and Attachment Ideas Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting key emotions that shape how people relate to themselves and others. It can help when strong feelings get in the way of daily life or close connections. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and trust developed over time and helps people build more supported ways of relating and coping.

Nancy combines these approaches with client-centered listening to tailor the work to each person's needs. She will collaborate with clients to pick methods that fit their goals and comfort level, checking in and adjusting as progress unfolds. The aim is a practical plan you understand and can use between sessions.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make work on these themes flexible. Video is useful for deeper emotional work and real-time interaction, phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth, and messaging or chat are options for brief check-ins, skill practice, or people who prefer writing. These formats help people keep therapy consistent around work, family, or other obligations while focusing on the emotional and attachment patterns they want to change.
