About Nina

Nina Niemetta is a licensed social worker based in Michigan who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work and also addresses specific areas like abandonment, codependency, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Her style blends empathetic, person-centered care with practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods.

Nina emphasizes a holistic view of wellbeing that considers body, mind, and spirit while using mindfulness and motivational interviewing where appropriate to support change. Sessions aim to be nonjudgmental and progress-driven, helping clients develop coping skills, improve relationships, and address behavioral or mood challenges.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that identifies goals and builds actionable steps toward those goals. Nina’s grounding in evidence-informed approaches and her years of practice guide a flexible therapy plan tailored to each person’s needs and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Many of Nina’s sessions draw on cognitive behavioral techniques that help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and patterns that maintain distress. Client-centered therapy is also a key part of her practice, emphasizing a respectful, empathetic stance that values each person’s perspective and strengths while exploring goals and solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work and will be collaborative. A therapist and client together consider the person’s needs, preferences, and goals to decide whether CBT, client-centered methods, mindfulness exercises, or brief solution-focused tools are the best fit, and the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy with Nina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across life changes, and access licensed professionals from home or work while still focusing on meaningful skill-building and support.
