Nina Powell, LCSW

Nina Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 31 years of experience supporting people through major life challenges. She focuses on grief, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and coping with chronic illness and caregiving demands. Nina aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so people can manage day-to-day pressures more easily.

She brings long experience working alongside people affected by cancer and other serious health conditions. That work has included counseling patients, supporting caregivers, and helping parents figure out how to talk with their children about illness and loss. She also offers intensive bereavement counseling after sudden or traumatic loss.

Nina draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and follow each person’s pace. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thought patterns and narrative therapy to help people reframe painful events. These approaches are applied in clear, step-by-step conversations aimed at small, workable changes.

Her background includes years helping people cope with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, body image concerns, chronic pain, aging and hospice or end-of-life issues. She also addresses trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and career or life transition problems.

Sessions emphasize practical tools and realistic next steps. Nina combines active listening with structured techniques so people leave with something to try between visits. She works in Florida and conducts sessions in English.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist creates space for people to bring what matters most and then helps them set practical goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress or anxiety going and offers concrete tools to change them. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people identify and work through strong emotions in relationships and personal loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy day. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or let someone choose a simpler audio-only visit if bandwidth is limited. These practical choices help therapy match everyday life while focusing on grief, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and other concerns.
