Nancy Arnovits, LCSW

Nancy Arnovits is a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood challenges, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people find breathing room and clearer choices in difficult times.

Nancy spent much of her career at a large public teaching hospital in Miami, Florida. That work exposed her to a wide range of health and life challenges, including physical illness, mental health conditions, survivors of sexual assault, and counseling in correctional settings. Those experiences shaped her comfort with complex, high-stress situations.

Her counseling style is eclectic and tailored to each person. She draws from client-centered work, solution-focused strategies, and cognitive behavioral methods to help people learn new ways of thinking and healthier coping skills. Dialectical behavior approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy may also be used when helpful.

Nancy is especially mindful of stressors that have intensified recently and notes an interest in supporting people in the LGBT community. She also works with issues such as caregiving strain, chronic illness, grief, addiction, and sleep or eating difficulties. Her long experience includes helping people manage career questions, self-esteem, anger, and relationship struggles.

She presents herself as a collaborative partner who learns alongside the people she sees. Conversations focus on practical steps, clear goals, and skills that can be used between sessions. Nancy holds an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and practices from Florida.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, grief, and long-term stress by clarifying values and small steps forward.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on active listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and can explore their concerns at their own pace. This approach is useful when someone needs space to talk through trauma, loss, or relationship strains.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with chronic illness.

Nancy treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. Finding the right fit is something she expects to refine together over the first few sessions.

If you plan to try online therapy, check the available session formats before booking since none were specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Licensed therapists can use these options to focus on practical skills, track progress, and support day-to-day coping without promising a specific outcome.
