About Nancy
Nancy Benner is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and low self-esteem. She offers steady, respectful support for stress, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and major life changes. Her work centers on the person in front of her and on practical steps that feel doable day to day.
Nancy begins by listening to what matters most to each person and where they are right now. She draws on client-centered methods to create a collaborative space and uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness exercises are also part of her toolbox when regulation skills are needed.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small experiments clients can try between meetings. Conversations tend to be straightforward and skills-based, with room to process emotion and past hurts. Nancy aims to help people build more confidence, steady routines, and healthier ways of relating to others.
Her background includes many years in clinical settings across Oregon, where she has worked with a broad range of concerns from eating and anger issues to bipolar conditions and coping after disasters. That breadth helps her tailor practical plans to each person’s situation.
Nancy works with adults facing attachment challenges, codependency, communication problems, and commitment worries, among other concerns. She helps people find clearer paths forward and supports steady progress over time.
