About Nina
Nina Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over three decades of experience supporting people through big life changes. She focuses on practical help for grief, stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship struggles. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at making coping easier day to day.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and shape sessions around each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors in real life.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when emotions feel overwhelming in relationships and daily life. Nina has a long history working with people facing serious illness, including cancer, and with their caregivers. That work includes helping with body image concerns, managing loss of control, and addressing compassion fatigue.
She has also provided intensive bereavement counseling after sudden losses and supported people through hospice and end-of-life issues. Her background includes a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling and advanced certification in hospice and palliative care. She has worked with victims of domestic violence and with people living with chronic pain, disability, or long-term illness.
These experiences shape a practical approach that connects problem-solving with emotional support. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Nina helps people set small steps, practice new skills, and track what works.
She aims to help people move through grief and stress toward clearer thinking and steadier days.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps clarify priorities and build on personal strengths in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it helps people try small behavior changes and measure what improves. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) addresses strong emotions that affect relationships or how people feel day to day by identifying and working with those emotions directly.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to set goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps. Together they decide whether to focus on coping skills, processing emotions, or changing patterns of thinking and behavior.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video gives face-to-face conversation when needed, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are good for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and keep momentum between sessions.
