How Nina works
Sessions aim to create a space where people can be heard and begin to try new ways of coping. Dr. Rathmann draws on a mix of approaches that match a person’s needs.
She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address difficult thoughts and patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing help when relationships or motivation are central concerns.
She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Colorado, a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver, and a Doctorate in Psychology with an emphasis on Health and Wellness in 2019. Her credentials include LCSW and CSW, and she has practiced for 25 years in Colorado. In sessions she focuses on clear, manageable steps.
That might mean learning specific coping skills, shifting unhelpful behavior patterns, or strengthening emotional connection. The work is collaborative and practical, aimed at improving day-to-day functioning. People interested in starting can expect straightforward guidance about how therapy will proceed and what tools to try between sessions.

Online support options
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy targets emotional patterns in close relationships to improve connection and reduce conflict, which can be useful for intimacy-related struggles and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will try methods that seem to fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques over time so sessions feel useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for shorter check-ins, brief problem-solving, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options help make consistent care easier to fit into busy lives.
