    About Nina

    Nina Niemetta, LMSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges with parenting and relationships. She brings 14 years of experience as a licensed social worker in Michigan and talks plainly about practical steps people can take to feel steadier. Nina uses a warm, nonjudgmental manner to help people find clearer direction when life feels overwhelming.

    Her approach centers on listening first and then working toward small, achievable changes. She combines client-centered listening with solution-focused planning so people leave sessions with concrete next steps. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox to help clients find their own reasons for change and build momentum.

    She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and mindfulness techniques to manage strong emotions. Nina aims to address the whole person - body, mind, and spirit - and helps clients identify coping skills that fit their daily life. Sessions focus on realistic strategies rather than long explanations.

    Nina has helped individuals navigate trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, ADHD, mood disorders, and struggles with self-esteem or impulsivity. She pays attention to family of origin issues, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue when those themes come up.

    People who choose her can expect straightforward goal-setting, tracking small wins, and regular check-ins on progress. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site process to match and schedule a first session.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change by using guided conversation and reflective listening; it can be useful for habit change, addiction concerns, or getting unstuck when motivation feels low. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and empathy so the person feels heard and respected while they consider options and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical exercises to reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression and to build coping habits.

    Deciding which approach feels right is a collaborative process. Nina will listen to a person's goals and preferences, then suggest starting points and adjust as progress is made. The first sessions typically clarify priorities and set small, measurable steps together.

    If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can focus on skill practice between meetings.
