About Nina
Nina Reed is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in Illinois, with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, and career pressures.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people identify patterns and try small changes. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are used when they fit the person's goals. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants clearer direction or support for change.
Sessions focus on concrete steps and real-life problems. Conversations look at day-to-day routines, communication habits, and decisions that affect work and family. Nina emphasizes building on existing strengths rather than starting from scratch.
She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, self-harm thoughts, social anxiety, somatization, and issues common to young adults and women. She can help people sort out commitment and communication problems, isolation, and self-esteem struggles.
Nina asks people to bring recent examples from their life when possible. That lets sessions move toward manageable next steps. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial meeting to review goals and preferences.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and identify their own answers before moving toward change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and routines and replace them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and support coping with strong feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and everyday demands and recommend methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
