About Nannina
Nannina Leo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada with six years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, career worries, depression, addiction concerns, and other life changes.
Her approach is direct and structured. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to practice new ways of responding. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels mixed or unclear.
Sessions focus on concrete steps and short-term skills. Clients can expect to notice patterns in thinking, test small behavior changes, and review what worked between meetings. She talks through practical strategies for managing anger, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, and coping with bipolar symptoms or ADHD-related challenges.
She pays attention to relationship and LGBT-related concerns as part of everyday life stressors. Nannina helps people sort career decisions, handle family tensions, and work through the impact of trauma and abuse in daily routines. Her work centers on clear goals and measurable progress.
People who prefer a straightforward, skills-based way of working tend to find this style useful. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial scheduled session are the usual first steps.
How CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing work online
CBT is a skills-focused approach that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. It works well for anxiety, low mood, stress, and many everyday problems by breaking issues into clear steps and practicing new responses. DBT provides practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving tolerance for distress. It emphasizes short skills you can use when feeling overwhelmed, such as grounding, emotion labeling, and paced breathing. Motivational Interviewing centers on strengthening a person’s own reasons for change. It uses guided conversation to clarify goals and build commitment when someone feels unsure about taking the next step. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will help choose which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can shift as therapy progresses. Confirm the session formats before booking to know exactly how meetings are held. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel. Ask about specific scheduling and session options when you complete the initial matching questionnaire.Areas of expertise
