About Nina
Dr. Nina Rathmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, addictions, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes.
Nina favors a straightforward, person-focused way of working. She listens to what matters most and moves at a pace set by the individual. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to immediate problems and what can be done this week or month.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Colorado, a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver, and a Doctorate in Psychology with an emphasis on Health and Wellness earned in 2019. These degrees inform a clinical practice built on many years of direct client work.
In sessions she blends methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That mix is used to address things like caregiver stress, blended family issues, body image, chronic illness, codependency, and communication problems.
She also works with concerns related to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, cancer, and the emotional effects of chronic pain and disability. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site steps to schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behavior and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, respectful conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what they say.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. She will help clients and the therapist figure out which methods fit best based on current concerns, goals, and preferences. That process is collaborative and can change as needs shift.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm what options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a break, a session without commuting, or using audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Therapists and licensed professionals can also adjust session length and pacing to match everyday schedules and responsibilities.
