About Nancy
Nancy Arnovits is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 32 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, and a range of relationship and identity concerns. She commonly helps with issues related to addiction, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
She spent much of her career at a large public teaching hospital in Miami. That work involved a wide variety of patients, including people with physical illness, mental health conditions, survivors of sexual assault, and individuals in correctional settings. Those roles shaped a practical approach to complicated problems.
Her counseling style is eclectic and depends on each person’s situation. She uses client-centered listening alongside solution-focused steps and cognitive behavioral techniques when helpful. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative coping strategies in day-to-day life.
She has a particular interest in supporting people in the LGBT community and recognizes the extra stress many have faced in recent times. She also works with concerns around aging, caregiver stress, chronic illness and end-of-life issues, body image, blended family challenges, and relationship infidelity.
Nancy aims to learn with the people she sees. Sessions typically involve clear, practical tasks and short-term strategies as well as space to talk through difficult feelings. This makes her work suitable for people who want structured, hands-on help rather than vague advice.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going, and then works on practical experiments to change those patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating difficulties, and many everyday stressors.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take action even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can be helpful for chronic stress, grief, and compassion fatigue. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach as well, which focuses on listening and reflecting so people can shape their own goals.
Deciding which method to use is part of the work. She will help clients choose an approach based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That selection is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and ACT exercises for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
