Nancy Lucas, LPC

Nancy Lucas brings over 10 years of clinical experience to her therapeutic work, combining a calm, collaborative style with practical tools to help people find greater well-being. She maintains a full-time day role working with women who are entangled in the legal system, and her background also includes clinical work with children, adolescents, couples, and adults. Nancy emphasizes that life is too short not to pursue happiness, and she encourages clients to seek relationships that are healthy, treasured, and worth the effort it takes to navigate the hard parts.

Nancy approaches therapy with a relaxed, client-centered stance that invites partnership and shared discovery. She believes poor communication is often the primary source of troubled relationships and uses that perspective to guide sessions toward clearer understanding and improved interaction. Sexual orientation, race, and culture are not barriers to her care - she values uniqueness and actively promotes acceptance and respect in the therapeutic space.

Nancy is trained in Seeking Safety and in the Finding Your Best Self program by Lisa Navajits, and she often uses the 5 Love Languages framework as a practical tool in relationship work. Her clinical approaches include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems, which she draws on to tailor interventions to each person s needs.

Nancy wants to help those who are ready to help themselves, and she strives to make scheduling accommodating and straightforward. She encourages clients to reach out when they are ready without applying pressure to commit to future sessions. She checks messages every day and responds within 12 to 18 hours at a minimum, making ongoing communication and timely support a part of her practice. Nancy holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - which reflects formal training and state licensure in counseling practice.
