About Nina
Nina Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 31 years of experience. She works with people facing grief, life changes, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues such as caregiver strain and end-of-life planning.
Her background includes an advanced certification in hospice and palliative care and a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling. Much of her career has involved supporting adults, children, and families affected by cancer. She provides counseling for patients and caregivers, addresses body image and loss of control, and helps manage compassion fatigue.
Nina has also worked with survivors of domestic violence and with people living with disabilities to cope with illness and daily stressors. She offers intensive bereavement counseling for those who have experienced sudden or traumatic loss, helping them process grief and find ways to continue with daily life.
Her practice draws on several approaches, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative work, and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on naming difficult emotions, understanding patterns, and developing practical ways to manage stress and upsetting memories.
People choose her when they need focused help with serious life events, caregiving strain, or complicated grief. She guides conversations and offers concrete steps people can try between sessions to cope and adapt.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and track emotions and interaction patterns that keep people stuck. It is often used when feelings are hard to name or when relationships and attachment responses need attention. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation that follows the client’s concerns and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and mood.Nina treats finding the right approach as a collaborative step. She will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and what feels most effective. That discussion can change as needs evolve, and she adjusts the focus based on progress and feedback.
If you plan to pursue online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use phone or video depending on what works best for them and their daily routine. Licensed professionals and therapists typically tailor the pacing and homework to fit how clients prefer to meet.
