Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on real change. She uses a person-centered approach that starts with listening and understanding each person’s priorities.

Nina draws on several well-known methods to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, doable steps toward clear goals. Mindfulness techniques are used to build attention and steady emotions.

She frames work as collaborative and progress-driven. Clients and the therapist set goals together and track small gains over time. Nina also incorporates attention to physical and spiritual wellbeing when helpful.

Her MSW is from Wayne State University and she holds the LMSW credential, which she uses in clinical practice in Michigan. The focus is on practical coping strategies, managing symptoms, and improving day-to-day functioning. Parents and caregivers will find straightforward support for relationship and family stress.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s concerns and priorities. It involves active listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can set their own goals. This approach helps when people need space to sort values, relationship issues, or emotional overwhelm.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In sessions, the therapist and client identify patterns, try small behavior changes, and review what works. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood regulation.

The therapist will help figure out which approach fits best. Finding the right method is collaborative and may change as goals shift. Nina will work with each person to choose practical strategies that match their needs and preferences.
