Nina Kaplan Hansson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, and trauma and abuse. Sessions focus on practical steps to make daily life more manageable.
Nina uses straightforward conversation and problem-solving in sessions. She listens for what is most urgent and helps people break problems into smaller parts. Expect short-term strategies for sleep and mood when those are pressing, alongside longer conversations about relationship patterns and past hurts.
She pays attention to how early attachment and family history affect current relationships. Topics she commonly addresses include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and family of origin concerns. Nina also works with people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, and co-occurring substance use difficulties.
Therapy often includes learning clearer ways to communicate and set boundaries. She helps clients practice skills and notices what gets in the way of change. Sessions are practical and focused on everyday life demands like work, parenting, and money stress.
Nina works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Nina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete change. One common approach she relies on involves structured problem solving - identifying specific problems, generating options, and testing small changes. This helps with stress, sleep problems, and managing mood swings.She also draws on methods that pay attention to patterns in relationships and attachment. These approaches look at how early family experiences affect current connections and help people try different ways of communicating and setting boundaries.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted over time as progress and challenges appear.
Confirm available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Talk with the therapist about which session rhythm and format will best fit day-to-day life and responsibilities.
