About Nina

Nina Powell draws on person-centered practice to create a calm, respectful space for people facing hard life moments. She uses clear, practical conversation to help with grief, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career concerns, and questions about identity. Nina is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with three decades of experience in clinical settings.

She focuses on helping people manage big changes and losses. That work includes coping with serious illness, cancer-related challenges, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns.

Background and approach

She also helps people who are dealing with trauma, abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and the wear of compassion fatigue. Nina combines several approaches to match a person’s needs. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and practice new responses. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas help people understand the stories they tell about themselves and how those stories shape feelings. Her background includes long-term counseling with adults affected by serious medical conditions and grief work after sudden loss.

She has worked with caregivers on coping strategies and on rebuilding routines after a major life change. That practical focus often includes adjusting expectations, improving communication, and pacing self-care. People who want straightforward guidance may find her style useful.

Sessions aim to clarify goals, build coping skills, and create a plan that fits daily life. Nina brings 31 years of experience as an LCSW in Florida to this work and meets people where they are ready to begin.

How Nina’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and helps identify what they want to change or work through. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. That approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong feelings to improve emotional connection and regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which ideas and exercises to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. This keeps the work aligned with the person's needs and pace.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when face-to-face interaction matters; phone can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are helpful for short check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy days.
