About Nina

Nina Foster is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and recovery from trauma and grief.

Background and approach

With 13 years of clinical work, she supports clients experiencing a wide range of challenges including addictions, intimacy and sexual concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting struggles, anger and self-esteem issues, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She emphasizes an affirming, culturally sensitive stance that honors each person's unique background and identity.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building, drawing on evidence-based methods to tailor care to each client. Nina integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed approaches to help clients identify patterns, build coping strategies, and increase resilience.

She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies when appropriate to support goal setting and behavior change. Licensed as an LPC (TX LPC 68891, OR LPC C5613), Nina works with English-speaking clients in Texas and accepts international clients.

She frames therapy as a partnership grounded in respect and empathy, inviting people to explore meaningful change while developing tools for everyday life.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and partnership, focusing on the client's perspective and personal goals so that growth happens at the client's own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and introduces concrete skills and exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment awareness and calming practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Nina approaches treatment collaboratively, so selecting the right technique is part of the work together. She will help clients explore which combination of methods fits their needs, preferences, and goals, and adjust the plan as progress and new priorities emerge. The process is flexible and client-focused rather than prescriptive.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides practical advantages for many people. These formats increase access for those with busy schedules, travel or relocation constraints, or varying comfort levels with talking in person. Online options allow clients to continue consistent care while balancing life responsibilities and offer multiple ways to stay connected with a licensed professional between in-depth sessions.
