About Nancy

Nancy Orlopp is a New York-based licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, and changes in mood. She works with adults on intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career stress, sleep problems, and questions around sexual and gender identity. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at practical steps people can use day to day.

She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape connections and responses.

Background and approach

Nancy also uses Client-Centered principles to follow each person's pace, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for managing strong feelings. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning new ways to cope, and improving how people relate to others. With eight years of clinical experience, Nancy blends talk therapy with skill-building.

She supports people working through trauma, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue while also addressing neurodiversity and aging-related concerns. She is attentive to identity factors and life transitions that affect mental health. Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then suggests techniques and experiments to try between sessions.

Treatment plans are adjusted as needed, with attention to communication, boundaries, and practical self-care. Nancy aims to help people feel more steady, connected, and able to manage daily challenges. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Her LCSW credential indicates she holds a licensed clinical social worker credential in New York and practices as a clinician in that state.

Online support

How her approaches work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with core emotions that shape how people relate to others. Online sessions can help people notice their emotional responses, practice new interaction patterns, and reduce distress tied to relationship and intimacy problems.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the client's lead. In virtual sessions this means the therapist creates space for each person to tell their story at their own pace while guiding toward clearer goals and self-direction.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for regulating intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Delivered online, DBT techniques can be taught in short check-ins, practiced between meetings, and reinforced with messages or chat tools.

Nancy treats finding the right approach as a collaborative effort. She will discuss different methods and tailor a plan based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This conversation happens early and is revisited as progress is made.

Online therapy with her uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging fits quick check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue steady work on goals.
