About Nina
Nina Niemetta is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting struggles, depression, ADHD, and addictions. She draws on 14 years of practice in Michigan to offer steady support when life feels overwhelming. Her approach is warm and practical, with an eye toward real change.
Nina keeps sessions focused on what matters most in daily life. She uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to help people set goals and try small, doable steps.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Mindfulness often appears in sessions as simple breathing and awareness practices that reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change when motivation is low.
These tools are mixed and matched to fit each person’s situation. She pays attention to family of origin issues, relationship patterns, grief, codependency, and caregiver stress. Nina also supports people facing feelings of emptiness, abandonment, isolation, and guilt or shame.
She works with a broad range of concerns rather than focusing on diagnoses alone. Practical coping strategies are a central part of her work. Expect straightforward suggestions, hands-on exercises, and check-ins on progress.
Nina aims to help people feel more capable, calm, and in control of their daily routines. Her license is LMSW, which she uses to provide counseling in Michigan. Sessions are offered in English and can include video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits the person best.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people clarify goals and feel heard, which is useful for stress, grief, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related patterns, and coping with life changes by teaching concrete strategies to change thinking and routines.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces attention practices and simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These practices pair well with other techniques when someone wants calmer responses in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on how well the strategies are working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between scheduled meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
