About Nina
Dr. Nina Rathmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado with 25 years of practice. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also helps with life changes and a wide range of medical and caregiving challenges.
Her approach mixes practical tools with conversational, client-centered work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas. Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on steps that fit everyday life.
In practice she helps people address concrete problems such as caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and the emotional impact of cancer. She also supports concerns around adoption and foster care, blended family issues, body image and eating concerns, and separation or divorce effects. Communication problems, commitment questions, and codependency are common topics in sessions.
Rathmann uses techniques to clarify values, reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, and repair important relationships. She works on skills for coping with symptoms and building manageable routines. Motivational interviewing helps when people want to change addictive behaviors or strengthen commitment to a goal.
Her training includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver and a Doctorate in Psychology focused on health and wellness. The first meeting is practical: a short intake to identify priorities and decide what to try next.
BHow sessions work
Approaches you may use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, concrete steps toward those values while reducing the impact of painful thoughts. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with mood, worry and coping with stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets important relationship dynamics and helps people understand and shift emotional patterns that affect connection and conflict.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust over time. You and the clinician decide together which combination of techniques feels most helpful and realistic for your situation.
Confirm current session options before booking since session formats are set by the practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use tools like behavioral experiments or value-based homework between meetings to practice skills in everyday settings. If technology or camera use is a concern, discuss alternatives with the therapist when you schedule so sessions match your needs and routine.
