About Nancy
Nancy Bodnar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and life changes. Her background includes private practice and outpatient hospital settings, and she communicates in English.
Nancy earned a Master of Social Work in 2002 from Hunter College School of Social Work. Early in her career she focused on children and family work and later added school social work certification. She has volunteered with community agencies and is a member of the National Association of Social Workers.
Her practice draws on several approaches. She uses client-centered conversations to hear what matters most to the client. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and build more effective coping. Mindfulness techniques are offered to manage stress and improve moment-to-moment awareness.
Nancy frequently supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, family problems, blended family issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and parenting stress. She also addresses trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, anger, and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and steps people can try between meetings.
She favors working alongside other professionals when helpful, bringing a multidisciplinary perspective when cases require it. Clients can expect straightforward discussion of goals, options, and next steps. To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching process to schedule an initial session.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. In practice that means the therapist prioritizes the client's concerns, follows their lead, and helps clarify goals. This approach is useful for people trying to sort through relationship or family stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and unhelpful reactions. Clients often leave sessions with specific exercises to try during the week.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These practices can help when grief, anger, or overwhelm make daily tasks harder.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Ask about the available online session options when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can focus on practical steps between meetings.
