Nina Powell, LCSW

Nina Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 31 years of experience. She lists grief, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and end-of-life issues among her primary focuses. Nina has long experience helping people facing illness, caregiving responsibilities, and major life changes.

She holds an advanced certification in hospice and palliative care and a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling. Much of her work has involved adults and families affected by cancer, including counseling people receiving treatment and the caregivers who support them. She has provided intensive bereavement counseling after sudden losses and helped people process complicated grief.

Nina often helps people manage caregiver strain, loss of control, changes in body image, and the emotional toll of chronic illness. She also addresses abandonment, guilt, shame, and issues that follow divorce or separation. Practical problem solving and steady emotional support are recurring parts of her approach.

Her methods draw on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, narrative therapy, and psychodynamic perspectives. That mix is used to pinpoint patterns, reframe thinking, and strengthen emotional responses. Sessions typically focus on concrete coping skills alongside space to talk through difficult feelings.

People who contact her can expect an experienced clinician who has spent decades working with illness, end-of-life care, bereavement, and caregiver stress. She helps people navigate immediate problems and also the more complex feelings that follow major life events.
