About Nancy

Nancy Lucas, LPC, has practiced counseling for 10 years in Oklahoma. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, relationship problems, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns.

Her approach is practical and straightforward. She listens and then helps individuals notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses clear steps to try different ways of responding to problems rather than long, unfocused talks.

Nancy often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions focused on what the person wants to address. Solution-Focused ideas are used when quick, concrete changes are the goal.

She has experience working in settings that involve legal and social challenges for women, and has previously worked with children, adolescents, couples, and adults. That background informs how she plans sessions and sets practical goals with each person.

Nancy values straightforward communication. She mentions that poor communication is often the main cause of troubled relationships and will work on communication skills when that is a concern. She also uses humor at appropriate times to ease tension during sessions.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Messages are checked daily and she aims to reply within 12 to 18 hours.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Nancy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try small, testable changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that affect relationships.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. This approach supports clear, person-led goal setting and helps put practical steps in place.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and decide together which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life - for example shorter check-ins can fit a lunch break, phone sessions require less bandwidth, and video sessions allow face-to-face interaction when helpful. Ask about the available formats when scheduling so sessions match practical needs.
