About Nina

Nina Niemetta is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 14 years of experience. She holds an MSW degree from Wayne State University. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, trauma, mood conditions, addictions, and family problems.

Her work tends to be straightforward and practical. She uses person-centered conversation to listen first and then focuses on steps a person can try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused tools are used to break down problems and test small changes. Mindfulness techniques are added when people would like short practices to steady their attention.

Nina has worked with parents and with adults managing family-of-origin issues and blended family concerns. She also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, control issues, grief, shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She speaks plainly about behavior patterns and what a person can change right now.

Sessions aim to identify concrete coping strategies for daily life. That can mean mapping triggers, rehearsing different responses, or setting small goals for parenting or relationship moments. She includes motivational interviewing approaches when people want help finding reasons to change and keeping momentum.

Her background in social work informs a focus on practical support over labels. People who choose her often want clear steps, short practices they can try, and guidance on managing heavy emotions while handling everyday responsibilities.

How sessions work

How Nina integrates common approaches in online sessions

Nina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered methods in her work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered work means the conversation starts with the person's priorities and moves at a pace they can manage.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help with attention, stress, and grounding between sessions. Mindfulness here involves short exercises to notice breathing and bodily signals so people can respond more calmly in parenting or relationship moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Nina works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and everyday life. She will help set clear, achievable steps and adjust methods if something does not feel helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins, or use audio-only time when bandwidth is limited. Many people find that regular shorter sessions or focused problem-solving meetings help them test new parenting strategies and coping techniques between appointments.
