Professional statement

Experienced Licensed Counselor & Cultural Anthropologist

With more than 25 years of experience, Nancy St. Claire offers a thoughtful, compassionate approach to therapy grounded in both clinical expertise and cultural understanding. She works with adults navigating stress, difficult life experiences, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and periods of transition or feeling stuck.

Nancy’s background includes extensive work in nonprofit and community mental health settings serving underserved populations. Her experience spans crisis services, program leadership, and trauma-informed care. She also served in national leadership roles within behavioral health organizations and provided oversight for substance use treatment programs across northeast Florida.

In addition to her counseling background, Nancy holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in anthropology with a focus on cultural and ethnographic studies. As a civilian cultural advisor embedded with a U.S. Army Brigade Combat Team in Iraq (2008–2009), she conducted sociocultural fieldwork and accompanied soldiers on missions throughout the region. These experiences continue to shape her grounded, resilient, and deeply human approach to counseling.

Online sessions available in Florida, Texas, and Arizona. In-person sessions available Mondays in Jacksonville, Florida (San Marco area).


Message to clients

I approach counseling with openness, authenticity, and deep respect for each person’s individual experience. I believe people have the capacity for healing and meaningful change when they feel supported, understood, and emotionally safe. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward greater clarity, balance, and connection in your life.

Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach, we work collaboratively to identify your goals, strengthen coping skills, and better understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I often incorporate practical tools, mindfulness, and body-based approaches that support lasting change and emotional resilience. I honor many paths to healing and can integrate spirituality or 12-step principles when they are meaningful to you.

My training includes EMDR, CBT, DBT-informed mindfulness practices, and somatic (mind-body) therapies. I am EMDRIA-certified in EMDR therapy and frequently incorporate EMDR into sessions both virtually and in person.
