About Nina
Nina Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 31 years of experience. She practices in Florida and focuses on grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and other related issues listed in her profile.
She spent many years working with people affected by disability and domestic violence, helping them manage illness and life stressors. For nearly three decades she has worked closely with adults, children, and families affected by cancer, offering counseling and connecting people with practical resources during treatment.
Nina has an advanced certification in hospice and palliative care and a Master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling. Her background includes end-of-life support, helping patients and families navigate care decisions and emotional responses during that period.
She provides counseling for caregivers, including managing compassion fatigue, supporting children through a loved one’s illness, and addressing changes in body image and loss of control. She also offers intensive bereavement counseling for people who have experienced sudden or traumatic loss.
Her approach draws on a mix of methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, emotionally-focused therapy, narrative, and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, working through emotions, and trying concrete changes to daily habits. Nina also addresses practical concerns like connecting clients to community resources.

How her approaches translate to online work
Nina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT sessions tend to include practical exercises, brief experiments, and clear steps to practice between meetings to address anxiety, depression, and stress.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can lead the conversation about what matters most. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when strong emotions around relationships or loss need careful attention; it helps name feelings and shift destructive interaction patterns.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made as progress and challenges become clearer, and clients are encouraged to give feedback on what helps.
The biography does not list specific session delivery formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If someone prefers phone or video for practical reasons such as bandwidth or camera comfort, those choices can shape how sessions are structured.
