Hi, I’m Carson Nance, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC®). I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, stress, life transitions, confidence, and other challenges that can interfere with feeling and performing at their best. I also specialize in working with athletes and performers who want to strengthen their mental game, manage pressure, build confidence, and perform more consistently. My approach is supportive, practical, and individualized to the person in front of me.
Our first session is focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about what you've been experiencing, what seems to be getting in the way, and what you'd like to be different. I'll ask questions about your background and current concerns, but the session is conversational rather than an interrogation. We'll also begin identifying goals and discussing strategies that fit your needs. Most importantly, it's an opportunity for you to get a feel for my approach and decide whether I'm the right fit for you.
One of my greatest strengths is combining a strong clinical background with a practical, individualized approach. I don't believe therapy should look exactly the same for every person. I work collaboratively with clients to understand what's actually happening in their lives and develop strategies that fit their personality, goals, and circumstances. As both a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Certified Mental Performance Consultant®, I also bring specialized knowledge of confidence, focus, motivation, performance anxiety, resilience, and responding effectively under pressure. My goal is for you to leave sessions with greater insight, but also with practical skills you can use outside of therapy.
I work best with clients who may feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, distracted, or frustrated that they aren't functioning or feeling the way they'd like to. Many of my clients are working through anxiety, ADHD, confidence or self-esteem concerns, stress, life transitions, school or career challenges, or difficulties in relationships. I also enjoy working with athletes and other high-performing individuals navigating pressure, motivation, confidence, focus, or setbacks. You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. If you're willing to be open about what's going on and work collaboratively toward meaningful change, we'll start from where you are.

I use CBT to help clients recognize patterns in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be contributing to anxiety, low confidence, stress, or difficulty performing at their best. Together, we work on challenging unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies that can be used in everyday life.
I use ACT to help clients develop a healthier relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions rather than feeling controlled by them. We focus on accepting what cannot always be controlled, identifying personal values, and taking meaningful action even when anxiety, self-doubt, or discomfort is present.
I use solution-focused strategies to help clients identify what is already working, clarify what they want to change, and develop practical steps toward their goals. We build on strengths and past successes while focusing on realistic ways to create progress moving forward.
I use a strengths-based approach to help clients recognize the abilities, resources, and successes they already possess. We build on those strengths to address challenges, increase confidence and resilience, and develop strategies that fit the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
I use Motivational Interviewing to help clients explore what they want to change, understand what may be getting in the way, and strengthen their own motivation for moving forward. My role is not to tell clients what they should do, but to help them identify meaningful goals and their own reasons for change.
