About Nancy
Nancy Buchanan is a Washington-based licensed mental health counselor with 29 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, and depression. She acknowledges the courage it takes to start therapy and meets each person with straightforward, respectful care.
She starts by listening to the whole story and identifying strengths the client already has. Sessions are practical and focused on small, doable steps that build confidence and momentum. Conversations cover coping skills for daily stress, ways to manage anxiety, and strategies to regain motivation after loss.
Nancy works with issues that often sit under bigger problems, such as abandonment, family of origin wounds, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, and social anxiety. She also supports people facing aging concerns, cancer-related distress, and challenges with drug or alcohol use. Her work pays attention to how relationships and communication patterns affect daily life.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She treats clients as active partners in setting goals and choosing approaches. Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what is changing between sessions.
If someone wants to begin, Nancy encourages completing a short questionnaire to match with the right therapist and then scheduling a first session. She practices in Washington and conducts sessions in English.
