Nancy E. Campbell, LCSW

Online Therapy for college students and young adults.

Life isn't always what we expect it to be. Let's figure it out together.

College isn't always what people expect it to be. It might be the first time living away from home. You may be dealing with new stressors that are tough to handle on your own.

If something hasn't been feeling right lately, therapy can give you a space to slow things down, understand what's going on, and start working through it.

Nancy E Campbell, LCSW offers online therapy for college students and young adults across Arizona and Pennsylvania, with a focus on practical, supportive care that fits into your everyday life.

What I Help With

You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Most people start therapy because something feels off, overwhelming, or harder than it used to be or should be.

Anxiety and overthinking

When your mind won't slow down

  • Constant worrying or overthinking
  • Feeling on edge or mentally drained
  • Trouble focusing, sleeping, or relaxing

We work on understanding what's driving these patterns and finding ways to manage them more effectively.

Talk to Me About Anxiety

Depression or feeling stuck

When things feel heavy or harder than usual

  • Low energy or motivation
  • Feeling disconnected or stuck
  • Losing interest in things you used to enjoy

Therapy can help you process what's going on and take small, realistic steps forward.

Get Support for Depression

Eating disorder struggles

Support that is structured, respectful, and non-judgmental

  • Anorexia
  • Bulimia
  • Binge eating
  • Restrictive eating patterns
  • Body image concerns

We approach this work carefully, focusing on patterns, underlying factors, and sustainable changes over time.

Start a Conversation About Recovery

Stress, Self-Esteem & Life Transitions

When everything feels like too much at once

  • Academic or work pressure
  • Relationship challenges
  • Self-confidence and identity
  • Major life transitions

This stage of life comes with a lot of change. Therapy can help you make sense of it and respond in a way that feels more like a positive direction.

Let's Work Through It Together

Not Sure If This Fits What You're Going Through?

That's okay.

You don't need the “right words” or a clear label. If something feels off, that's enough to start.

Reach Out and Let's Talk

How Therapy Works

Starting therapy can feel unfamiliar, especially if it's your first time. Here's what the process typically looks like:

1

Fill Out the Contact Form

Share a few details about yourself, your location, and what's been going on.

2

Initial Fit Check

We'll connect briefly to see if my approach feels like a good fit for you.

3

Start Online Sessions

Sessions are held online, so you can join from wherever you feel comfortable.

4

Ongoing Support

We meet regularly and focus on what's most relevant to you, at a pace that feels manageable.

My Approach to Therapy

Therapy should feel clear, supportive, and actually useful, not confusing or overly clinical.

The goal is to help you understand what's going on and build tools you can use outside of sessions.

My approach is structured, but flexible enough to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.

What Sessions Actually Feel Like

You don't need to come in with everything figured out. Few people do. We start with what's real for you.

Sessions may include:

  • Talking through something that's been on your mind
  • Understanding patterns in your thoughts or reactions
  • Learning ways to manage stress or emotions
  • Breaking down situations that feel overwhelming

It's a conversation, but it's also guided so you're not left trying to figure everything out on your own.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT focuses on how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected.

Together, we look at:

  • Thought patterns that may be contributing to how you feel
  • How those thoughts affect your reactions
  • Ways to approach situations differently

Over time, CBT can help you feel more steady and less stuck.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

DBT is helpful when emotions feel intense or difficult to manage. It focuses on practical skills such as:

  • Managing strong emotions
  • Handling stress in the moment
  • Staying present
  • Responding more thoughtfully

DBT skills are tools you can use in real situations, not just in therapy.

Nancy really understood the specific pressure of being a pre-med student. I finally have tools to manage my panic attacks.
