How Nina works
Nina supports caregivers coping with compassion fatigue, self-image shifts, and the strain of caring for someone with a chronic illness or disability. She also addresses related concerns such as anger, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness. Nina blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Emotionally-Focused and Narrativestyle work to help people change unhelpful thinking, strengthen important relationships, and make sense of painful stories.
Psychodynamic ideas help uncover deeper patterns that affect current choices. These approaches are used in a straightforward, practical way during sessions. People can expect help with practical problems too, such as coping skills for stress, communication around family and relationship issues, and planning for transitions like divorce or caregiving shifts.
She also offers coaching-style support for career and life-direction questions. Nina holds LCSW credentials in Florida and Maine and brings decades of hands-on service in clinical and community settings. Her work focuses on meeting people where they are and helping them take the next step toward feeling better.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Nina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape relationships and to strengthen connection and communication between people. Narrative Therapy is used to help reframe difficult stories and find new meanings after loss or trauma.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what is most helpful. Clients help set priorities and Nina tailors sessions to match needs and preferences over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper discussions and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, reflection prompts, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days or when travel is difficult.
