The traditional 60-minute sessions just don’t work.
A few years ago, I realized the way I was working with my High Functioning Anxiety clients wasn’t cutting it. Clients would have a 60-minute appointment scheduled, and one of 2 things would happen:
They were having a good day. Although their anxiety might have shown up last week or the week before TODAY, they were feeling great, so they DID NOT want to come to a session and deal with their anxiety. So we would spend the time chatting, and my attempts to ‘go there’ would be met with resistance.
Sustainable change just wasn’t happening. If they were having an anxious day or week and we made some progress—the ah-ha’s would be gone by the time they made their way home and re-entered their busy lives.
Plus, when you have High Functioning Anxiety looking inward in and of itself causes anxiety. The 60-minute sessions weren’t cutting it; I decided there had to be a different way to work with clients and created Coach in Your Pocket.
Coach in Your Pocket is currently on haitus.
Introducing Coach In Your Pocket
Coach in Your Pocket is a revolutionary way of working with a coach and is perfectly designed for those with High Functioning Anxiety. This methodology allows you to reach out to me 24/7 via Voxer, a voice messaging app you download for free to your phone, and I will respond during my office hours, Monday through Friday, from 9am - 5pm Eastern Time.
No more psyching yourself up for your coaching session or stressing about what you will talk about for an entire session.
Now you can reach out to me on Voxer me daily (or as often as you like) to share when:
you have wins and successes.
your anxiety goes sky-high.
your anxiety is at a low buzz.
you are feeling restless and don’t know why.
you want my feedback or encouragement.
Imagine being able to reach a trusted, expert in High Functioning Anxiety at any time of day, any day of the week. Imagine not having to wait until your scheduled session to vent, ask questions, get clarification, and celebrate victories.
This type of work is a game-changer. Clients progress so much faster with this instant access.
What Past Participants Are Saying:
“It is extremely powerful to have professional advice and wisdom every single day. Being able to get support in real-time on anything I am worried about or having panic attacks about or struggling with daily has helped me manage my anxiety much better now than I ever have before. I found Coach in Your Pocket just as—if not more—effective as one-on-one sessions.”
— Twenty-something female
“The level of support and responsiveness from this method of coaching with Nancy is extraordinary. Management of my anxiety has improved dramatically. I now feel very well understood, equipped with strategies to manage the symptoms and impact on a daily basis, and perhaps most surprisingly, closer than In terms of personal growth, progress, and improvement in my anxiety, this was much more than I expected, in the best of ways.”
— Thirty-something female
“Coach in Your Pocket is a completely different approach to coaching. The app is convenient and easy to use, and knowing I have this access to Nancy makes me feel like I’m not navigating through it on my own. Since working with Nancy, I can now recognize my anxiety when it starts rising and can intervene and reign it in.”

Am I a Good Fit?
After years of working with clients via Coach in Your Pocket. I have found three things that help create a good fit:
Previous Therapy: This is not therapy, so having done some previous therapy to help you name your childhood traumas and work through them is recommended. While we will discuss your past, it is only to notice how it has informed your present.
Time: You can reach out as often as you need to or want to, and clients that have the most success reach out to me daily or several times a week to check in and give updates.
Commitment: Yes, I know; why would you sign up for something if you weren’t committed? AND this work is hard. Seeing yourself in a new light and changing old patterns is difficult. So, in addition to the time, there is also a willingness to be challenged and engage in the work. Both in being able to receive feedback from me and giving me feedback and asking questions to ensure you are getting the most out of the work.
This work will help you feel as good on the inside as you look on the outside.
The truth is, being the go-to person, always striving for perfection, and plowing ahead at a feverish pace has helped you keep your high functioning anxiety at bay. And now those behaviors just aren’t working anymore. Your anxiety keeps creeping in more and more. You see it in your kids, you see it at work, you see it in your relationships. It is permeating everything.
We have been taught that our deepest needs, feelings, and desires are scary and we need to protect the world from them. So we hustle to perform, achieve, and earn our worthiness.
Stop ruminating, over-analyzing, and worrying “you will be found out.”
Recognize when your high functioning anxiety has taken over the driver’s seat and know what to do next.
