About Nancy
Nancy Orlopp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with eight years of practice. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, self-esteem, and mood disorders. Sessions are conducted in English and her practice notes work with LGBTQ concerns, ADHD, sleep problems, parenting stress, career questions, and coping with life changes.
Her approach draws on several established therapies, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method, and psychodynamic ideas. In session she helps people name hard emotions and patterns, practice new ways of relating, and learn concrete skills for managing intense feelings. She also integrates attention to past experiences that shape current habits and reactions.
Nancy includes attention to cultural background and personal values in her work. She references a Christian perspective as part of how she frames conversations when that is relevant to the person. The practice notes additional focus areas such as aging issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, divorce and separation, polyamory or non-monogamous relationships, and post-traumatic stress.
Her method mixes emotion-focused conversations with skills training and practical problem solving. People can expect a blend of listening, reflective feedback, and step-by-step strategies to test between-session changes. The aim is to help people recognize patterns, try different responses, and notice what shifts over time.

How Nancy integrates EFT, skills work, and online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming and responding to core emotions and attachment needs. It helps people notice interaction patterns and try new ways of connecting when emotions run high. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s perspective and uses reflective listening to build understanding and clarity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and regulating behavior.Choosing an approach is part of the work. Nancy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as goals and circumstances shift, and she combines emotion-focused exploration with skills practice and occasional psychodynamic reflection.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the therapist’s biography does not list explicit online formats. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit work, family, and other commitments into small windows. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so more consistent work can happen between appointments.
