About Nancy
Nancy Neukomm is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 19 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and self-esteem concerns, and a range of other life challenges. Nancy focuses on practical steps clients can take to feel more steady and capable.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Client-Centered approaches and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Sessions tend to emphasize naming emotions, noticing interaction patterns, and trying small behavior changes between meetings. Mindfulness strategies and solution-focused ideas are often part of the work.
Nancy has experience in individual counseling, group settings, and program leadership. Her past roles include volunteer and paid work with people in shelters, a prison ministry, and a local food pantry. She has supervised other counselors and currently supervises a counselor in internship through Walden University while maintaining a private practice.
In sessions she listens closely and encourages simple stress-management practices between appointments. She will help clients break larger goals into manageable steps. Problem solving is practical and concrete rather than abstract.
People come to Nancy for help with specific issues like ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, anger, career changes, bipolar-related coping, chronic illness and pain, and communication problems. She also addresses concerns such as codependency, panic attacks, OCD symptoms, isolation, and blended family challenges.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying strong emotions and the interaction patterns they create. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns and practice new responses to reduce repeating cycles in relationships and personal life.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's own perspective and pace. In remote meetings this looks like active listening, reflecting what the client says, and following the client’s lead to set goals that feel doable.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. CBT tools used online include brief behavioral experiments, thought records, and short between-session tasks to test new ways of coping.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to decide whether EFT, CBT, client-centered work, or a combination fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That discussion typically happens in early sessions and can be revisited as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule - for example, sessions can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins during a lunch break, or be simpler to attend when energy is limited. These practical benefits help clients maintain consistency while trying new ways of responding to stress, relationships, and emotional distress.
