Behavior therapy is appropriate for Nancy's problem as it focuses on changing behavior patterns that are causing distress or problems in functioning. Social skills training, a type of behavior therapy, specifically helps individuals develop assertiveness skills and communication techniques. It is likely to result in positive behavioral changes relatively quickly. Cognitive therapy and insight therapy are not as focused on behavior change and may take longer to produce results. Systematic desensitization is used for anxiety disorders and phobias, which is not Nancy's primary problem.
