About Nancy

Nancy Jones Batch is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making it easier to talk about what matters most.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they think and feel. Conversations focus on the client’s story and what they want to change.

Background and approach

Sessions move at a steady, practical pace so people leave with clear ideas to try between meetings. Nancy often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult experiences and separate themselves from problems. She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to strengthen emotional understanding and build trust in relationships.

Cognitive and emotion-focused ideas are used when helpful to manage symptoms and improve communication. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then works with each person to set short-term goals and small steps toward greater well-being.

Progress is measured in everyday improvements like better sleep, clearer boundaries, or fewer panic moments. Nancy works by phone, video, chat, or messaging so people can choose what fits their life. She supports people through divorce, grief, guilt, shame, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety by focusing on practical change and renewed self-direction.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Nancy directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and attachment ideas work online

Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and rewrite those narratives in kinder, more useful ways. It is useful for issues like shame, identity questions, and repeated relationship patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape current emotional responses and connection needs. It can help people understand why they react strongly in intimate moments and learn new ways to feel and show trust.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of each session. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s pace, which helps when people want a steady, empathic space to process difficult feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring to sessions. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
