About Nina
Nina Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Her approach aims to be respectful and straightforward so parents and busy adults can get help that fits real life.
She works in a collaborative, affirming way that centers the client's priorities. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, setting clear goals, and trying practical steps that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
Nina uses everyday language and keeps tools simple so people can put them to use right away. Nina draws from client-centered therapy to make space for each person’s story. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and depression.
Mindfulness techniques are introduced when they help people notice stress and manage intense feelings in the moment. Her background includes work across different communities and settings, which informs a culturally sensitive practice. She pays attention to identity, relationships, and the social pressures clients face when shaping a care plan.
Therapy sessions may address relationships, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, eating and sleep problems, addiction and substance concerns, career questions, ADHD-related struggles, and coping with life changes. Nina supports LGBT clients and people navigating compassion fatigue or bipolar mood challenges. To begin, she asks about what matters most to the client and co-creates a plan.
The emphasis is on practical change, steady progress, and building resources that fit each person’s daily life.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on each person's strengths. Online sessions let the therapist follow your lead, ask questions that matter, and shape goals together in a way that fits your life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or depression going and teaches concrete skills to change them; it works well in video or phone sessions where homework and thought tracking can be reviewed together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nina will collaborate with each person to decide whether a client-centered, CBT, or mindfulness-based emphasis makes the most sense. That decision is based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you want to avoid being on camera. Live chat and text messaging give options for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or quick skill practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite a hectic schedule.
