Getting to know Nancy DeStefano

A bit about me... I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas. Formerly from the east coast, I earned my MSW at Adelphi University in Garden City, NY (on Long Island). I moved to Texas in 1990 and have been licensed in the state since 1991. I have experience in working with adults who are dealing with many life issues including grief and loss, illness, issues of aging, life changes and decision making, discernment, LGBTQ+ (I am supportive and seek to help people to become who they are and to help family members accept their loved one as he/she is), childhood trauma and self esteem among other concerns. My practice style is... My approach to counseling is client-centered. I seek to join my clients where they are and to walk with them on their life journey to where they want to go. I seek to help each client understand who they are and the strengths and areas of growth they have, helping them to concentrate on their strengths and examine and possibly change areas that are stumbling blocks for them. My approach to counseling is to work with and honor the whole person and so spiritual ideas can be part of that if the client wishes. I believe the answers to my client's life questions are in them, not in me and so I strive to ask questions and point out what I see and leave the decisions in my client's hands. I incorporate mindfulness and the Enneagram in our session if that will be helpful. I am a Certified Sageing Leader with an organization, Sageing International, which honors the gifts and life story of older adults, assisting each person to grow in wisdom as we age and to integrate our life's story into a legacy for future generations. My education and work experience... I have a Masters in Social Work from Adelphi University. I have worked in a variety of social work and counseling settings, including in churches, in independent and assisted living communities, hospitals and schools.
