Nancy Arnovits

Nancy Arnovits is a licensed clinical social worker with 32 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or relationship concerns, and she also supports those facing issues like addiction, sleep or eating problems, and questions about identity. She practices in Florida and offers services in English.

Her background includes many years working in a large public teaching hospital in Miami. That work brought her experience with diverse people and a wide range of medical and mental health issues. She has counseled survivors of sexual assault and provided support in correctional settings, and she has helped patients and families through illness and end-of-life concerns.

Nancy uses a flexible, practical style that adapts to what each person needs. Some people benefit from client-centered conversations that focus on listening and understanding. Others prefer solution-focused work or cognitive tools to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits.

She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions run high and behavior change is needed. Treatment choices are shaped by the presenting problem and the person’s goals.

Nancy is interested in working with LGBTQ people and understands the extra stressors that community faces. She emphasizes learning together with clients and helping them try new ways of thinking and acting. If you want a straightforward, experienced clinician who adapts to your needs, she can be a collaborative partner.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then make choices that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and coping with long-term health issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and build steady routines. It often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, sleep, and eating issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for people who experience intense emotions or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and what feels most useful, and then adapt techniques as needed. Clients and therapist try methods and adjust them together until a good fit emerges.

Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy week. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care across locations. Licensed professionals help clients translate therapeutic exercises into everyday life so gains carry over between sessions.
