Nina Powell, LCSW

Nina Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 31 years of clinical experience. She focuses on grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career issues, and depression. She also addresses a range of related problems such as caregiving stress, chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and post-traumatic stress.

Powell draws on client-centered methods to listen and respond to what matters most to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and to try practical changes. Emotionally-focused and narrative approaches help people make sense of painful events and rebuild connections in relationships.

Much of Powell’s work over the past three decades has been with people affected by cancer and serious illness. That includes counseling patients, supporting caregivers, and helping parents support their children through treatment. She has also provided intensive bereavement counseling after sudden or traumatic loss and worked on anger, guilt, shame, and forgiveness issues that follow major life events.

Her background includes a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling and an advanced certification in hospice and palliative care. Nina has experience working with survivors of domestic violence and with people living with disabilities to manage illness and daily stressors.

Sessions are practical and focused on day-to-day functioning. Conversations typically include problem-solving, emotion work, and planning for next steps. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
