About Nina
Nina Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 31 years of experience helping people handle major life stressors. She focuses on grief, anxiety, stress, caregiving strain, and the changes that follow serious illness. Nina listens and works to build a practical path forward with each person she meets.
She spent much of her career supporting people affected by cancer and their caregivers. That work includes talking through body image concerns, loss of control, compassion fatigue, and end-of-life questions.
Background and approach
Nina also has experience with bereavement after unexpected loss and with people coping with chronic illness or disability. Her approach draws on client-centered work that prioritizes each person’s goals. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns that keep people stuck.
Emotionally-focused and narrative perspectives help people name feelings and reframe painful stories about themselves. Nina has helped people process anger, guilt, shame, abandonment issues, and the practical fallout of divorce or separation. She also supports people facing aging-related concerns, hospice and palliative needs, and long-term caregiving stress.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what matters most right now. People who choose her can expect collaborative conversation and concrete next steps. Nina offers therapy in English and works with adults in Florida.
She combines decades of experience with a calm, direct approach to help people move toward clearer choices and relief.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on your goals and experience, so the therapist follows your lead and helps you set practical steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific techniques to reduce anxious or unhelpful patterns; it can be used to handle stress, anxiety, and mood challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Conversations in early sessions help decide whether CBT, emotionally-focused work, or other approaches fit best.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you see facial cues and use screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking. These options support consistent contact, flexible scheduling, and different ways to practice tools between sessions.
