About Nahia
Nahia Soto is an LCSW licensed in North Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Nahia uses practical talk and goal-focused work to address day-to-day problems. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions collaborative and mindfulness techniques to help with strong emotions.
In practice she listens for concrete patterns that keep problems going - repetitive negative thoughts, unhelpful behaviors, or avoidance. She works with each person to set small, achievable goals and to test new responses between sessions. She will use conversation and simple exercises rather than abstract explanations.
Nahia pays attention to cultural and immigration-related concerns when they matter to a client's situation. She also supports people working through grief, relationship strain, anger, body image, or life changes like pregnancy and postpartum challenges.
Her approach includes motivational interviewing and narrative methods when useful, particularly to clarify values and make changes feel manageable. Expect direct feedback, chances to practice new skills, and follow-up steps to try outside sessions.

How therapy methods translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can include practical worksheets, behavior experiments to try between meetings, and structured problem-solving to reduce anxiety or depression. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, reflection, and collaboration. In remote sessions this often means clear goal-setting each week and checking that the session agenda reflects what matters most to the person. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These practices can be introduced and coached in a session and then practiced independently between meetings. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that fit current goals, needs, and preferences, and may combine techniques as progress is evaluated. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can be scheduled around work, eliminate commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about formats and scheduling details when you complete the matching questionnaire to plan appointments that work with daily routines.Areas of expertise
