Nancy Neukomm , LCPC

Nancy Neukomm is a compassionate, experienced counselor who supports people through challenging life moments with practical, step-by-step guidance. She practices as an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) in Illinois and draws on nearly two decades of work helping individuals and families identify strengths and reach meaningful milestones.

Nancy uses cognitive behavioral techniques along with emotionally focused and solution-oriented strategies to help clients recognize their potential and build sustainable coping skills. Her background includes both volunteer and paid roles providing individual counseling, group work, and teaching in shelter programs, ministry settings serving formerly incarcerated men, and regular service at a local food pantry. She has led counseling programs, supervised other counselors, and maintains a private practice while supervising an intern from Walden University.

Known for respectful listening, creative problem solving, and encouragement of self-reflection and stress-management practices between sessions, she works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders, ADHD, addictions, parenting and family challenges, and life transitions. Nancy is committed to helping clients take small, achievable steps toward their goals and looks forward to supporting them in reaching meaningful milestones.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Nancy often integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to meet clients where they are and build practical skills for change. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment so clients can explore feelings and values at their own pace - this approach is helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learning concrete tools to manage anxiety, depression, panic, and compulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nancy works with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to maintain continuity during changes in schedule or location. These flexible formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent, goal-focused support in ways that suit different communication styles and practical needs.
