About Nancy
Nancy Neukomm is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who focuses on parenting concerns among a broad range of issues. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties. Her tone is warm and practical, aimed at parents looking for clear next steps.
She uses a mix of approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Sessions emphasize short-term goals and small, achievable steps.
Background and approach
Nancy encourages reflection and simple stress-management practices that can fit into busy family routines. Her background includes nearly two decades of work in counseling and program leadership. She has provided individual counseling, facilitated groups, and supervised other counselors.
Her experience also includes volunteer roles in shelter programs and work with people returning from incarceration, and she currently supervises an intern from Walden University while maintaining a independent practice. In the therapy room she listens closely and prioritizes practical problem solving. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused strategies to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and track progress.
Mindfulness practices are used when clients want tools to manage stress and attention. Nancy aims to help parents identify manageable changes and build confidence over time. Her approach blends goal-oriented work with emotional support so clients can try small experiments between sessions and celebrate progress along the way.

Practical approaches you can use online
Client-centered work focuses on what matters most to the client. It prioritizes listening, empathy, and letting the person's goals guide each session. This approach helps with feeling heard and clarifying what to tackle first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It offers clear strategies for anxiety, mood shifts, and ADHD-related routines by testing small behavior changes and tracking results. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name their emotions, which can improve communication and intimacy when feelings get in the way.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nancy will work with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide what to test and adjust over time, so the plan changes if something isn't helping.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and homework easier between appointments. These options let people keep therapy consistent around parenting schedules, work, and daily demands.
