About Nina

Nina Reed often cites the phrase "You must be the change that you wish to see in the world" as a guiding principle for both her life and her work. With 10 years of experience as a clinician, she brings that commitment to change into each therapeutic relationship. As an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a clinician trained to provide therapy and clinical social work services - she draws on a decade of experience supporting people across the lifespan.

Nina has worked with clients from birth to the end of life, addressing a range of concerns that include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. She favors an eclectic approach, adapting techniques and strategies to fit the distinct needs of each person she sees. That flexibility allows her to meet people where they are and to build treatment that aligns with their strengths and goals.

Believing that meaningful change grows from support and self-knowledge, Nina aims to create a compassionate, encouraging environment in which clients move beyond merely coping toward greater well-being and motivation to thrive. Her practice centers on helping individuals overcome obstacles while honoring their resilience and capacity for growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Nina Reed



Nina Reed uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience guides the work. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own strengths to address concerns like relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach Nina integrates. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to symptoms such as anxiety or depression, and then practicing practical strategies to shift those patterns and improve day-to-day functioning.

Nina also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy techniques to help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress-management skills. Mindfulness can be helpful for managing anxiety, emotional reactivity, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nina collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access a licensed professional from different locations, allowing therapy to be integrated into daily life with greater convenience and continuity.
