About Nannina
Nannina Leo is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of professional experience in Nevada. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and navigate life changes that feel overwhelming. Her approach is straightforward and calm, aimed at making starting therapy feel less intimidating.
She creates an open space for people to talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps that can be used between meetings, not just talking through problems.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns that keep difficult feelings returning and works with clients to try new ways of responding. Nannina uses methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along with Motivational Interviewing to help people set clear goals and stay motivated. That mix supports coping with mood changes, relationship and family stress, and challenges like addiction or grief.
She helps people build skills for managing anger, improving self esteem, and handling ADHD symptoms in daily life. Conversations are collaborative - she helps clients choose what to work on first and adjusts the plan as needs change. Sessions can include skill practice, problem solving, and check-ins on progress.
The tone is practical and compassionate, aimed at helping people make steady changes. People meet with her to address a wide range of concerns, including career stress, intimacy issues, eating concerns, bipolar-related challenges, and recovery from trauma and abuse. She works in English and offers several online session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
How therapeutic approaches fit with online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems alive. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete tools to test thoughts and develop healthier routines. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It can help people manage intense feelings, reduce conflict, and learn calmer ways to respond. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to make change and build motivation for goals like recovery or healthier habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and help choose which methods to try first. That choice is reviewed over time so the plan can shift if something isn’t working or priorities change.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth or when a camera isn’t convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, quicker day-to-day contact, and different ways to practice skills between meetings.
