About Nancy
Nancy Purohit, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship struggles, depression, parenting challenges, and ADHD-related issues. Her approach is direct and practical, focused on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques.

Nancy also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when those tools are helpful.
Nancy helps clients break problems into manageable steps. She guides practical exercises and homework that fit into daily life. The work often focuses on changing thinking patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills between sessions.
Her practice emphasizes straightforward, measurable steps rather than long abstract talk. She offers concrete tools for coping with grief, anger, impulsivity, and low self-esteem. Nancy also supports people dealing with multicultural concerns, gender dysphoria, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
People who choose Nancy typically want structured sessions and clear next steps. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. Her service model uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT, ACT, and DBT inform online sessions
Nancy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT focuses on breaking down situations and trying small experiments to see what changes work in daily life.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and help people take committed actions even when feelings are difficult. ACT supports learning to notice thoughts without being driven by them. When emotional intensity is high, DBT skills offer concrete practices for managing distress and improving emotion regulation.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try approaches for a few sessions and adjust based on what is most useful.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter focused check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Licensed professionals often use structured worksheets and between-session exercises that fit into everyday routines.
