Nancy Huus

Nancy Huus is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Montana with 13 years of experience. She focuses on helping people face stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and big life changes in clear, practical ways.

She aims to make the work feel direct and steady. Sessions concentrate on immediate coping skills and clearer thinking. Nancy uses approaches that include cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness to help reduce anxious thinking and manage overwhelming feelings.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try new responses. That might mean practicing ways to speak up, changing unhelpful thoughts, or using values-based steps to move forward.

Nancy also pays attention to attachment and early relationship experiences. Those themes often show up as trust issues, abandonment concerns, or trouble with closeness. She helps clients look at those old patterns and find different choices in current relationships.

She works with people dealing with adoption and foster care histories, caregiver stress, blended family tensions, addiction concerns, and identity questions like emptiness or low self-esteem. The goal is to build resilience so everyday life feels more manageable.

When someone wants to begin, Nancy guides them toward practical plans for coping, clearer communication, and gradual change. Her approach blends concrete tools with a respectful, accepting way of working together.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It can help when anxiety or avoidance keeps someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and changing daily habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nancy will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process can include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. Online formats can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy life. They can also allow shorter check-ins during a work break, reduce travel time, or avoid needing to be on camera when that feels difficult.
