Nina Niemetta , LMSW

Nina Niemetta is a licensed social worker based in Michigan with 14 years of clinical experience. She earned her MSW from Wayne State University in Detroit and practices as an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker. Over the course of her career she has worked with adults, families, and parents on a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, ADHD, parenting and behavioral challenges, trauma and abuse, spiritual concerns, relationship boundaries, loneliness, life transitions, and family issues.

Her therapeutic stance is empathetic, nonjudgmental, and person-centered, with a focus on solution-oriented progress. Nina integrates client-centered and solution-focused techniques while drawing on cognitive and mindfulness-based tools when appropriate. She also values a holistic perspective that attends to body, mind, and spirit as clients work toward balance. Through counseling she guides people toward practical coping strategies, clearer boundaries, improved relationships, and sustainable skills for managing difficult emotions and life changes.

Nina aims to meet each person where they are and tailor interventions to individual goals, helping clients build resilience, address addictive or impulsive patterns, navigate grief, and pursue meaningful change so they can move forward with greater confidence.

Therapeutic approaches for effective online care

Nina draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so the client leads the pace of change; it is useful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and repairing relationships. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and learning practical skills to manage symptoms and respond differently to stressors, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress, trauma responses, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Nina works together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts techniques and pacing to fit what will be most useful for them. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning their care and focused on realistic steps toward improvement.

Online therapy with Nina offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care around work, family, or other commitments. These formats support continuity of care, allow for different communication styles, and make it simpler to practice skills between sessions while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
