    About Nannina

    Nannina Leo is a licensed clinical social worker who centers her practice on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what feels hard. She emphasizes listening first and then working together on practical steps that fit each person's life. Her approach suits those who want clear conversation and steady support rather than long lectures.

    She brings six years of professional experience in Nevada and has worked with many common concerns. Those include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, career questions, and grief. She also supports people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, eating issues, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar-related concerns, intimacy-related problems, and ADHD-related struggles.

    Nannina uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing to help people notice patterns, try new skills, and stay motivated to change. In sessions she helps clients break problems into manageable parts and practice strategies between meetings.

    Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She helps people set realistic goals and checks in on what is or isn’t working. Clients will find practical suggestions, short-term skills, and space to talk about deeper feelings.

    If you are weighing a first step, she asks simple questions to match goals with methods and pace. To begin, follow the Start Therapy process and schedule a time that fits your needs.

  2. How motivational work and skills-based therapy translate online

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons for change and increase motivation. It focuses on asking open questions, reflecting back what a person says, and helping them choose a direction that fits their values and goals.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, try different ways of responding, and practice small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It can be useful for people who need concrete tools to regulate moods and communicate more clearly.

    Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, pace, and preferences. That means checking in and adjusting strategies as needed rather than committing to a single path from the start.

    The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and offering flexibility around work or family schedules. Licensed professionals can use these approaches in remote sessions to focus on goal-setting, practicing skills, and tracking progress over time.
