About Nina
Dr. Nina Rathmann is an LCSW and CSW licensed in Colorado with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, eating issues, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and major life changes.
She works in straightforward, step-by-step sessions. Nina draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions tend to focus on naming difficult emotions, clarifying patterns, and trying small changes between meetings.
Her approach centers on listening first and then choosing techniques that fit the person’s goals. People can expect practical tools for coping with stress and grief, behavioral steps for mood and anxiety, and space to talk through traumatic experiences when they’re ready. Progress is built one session at a time.
Nina has academic degrees in psychology and social work, including a doctorate in psychology with an emphasis on health and wellness earned in 2019. Her training and long practice bring experience working with chronic medical issues, caregiver strain, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care matters, and aging and geriatric concerns.
She works with issues related to body image, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and commitment concerns.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognizing and naming emotions and how they shape patterns in close relationships and personal reactions. It helps people untangle intense feelings that are hard to put into words. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nina will discuss goals and preferences and will help decide which methods fit best. That collaboration can include trying techniques from more than one approach and adjusting as needed based on what the person finds useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, and letting people use video or audio depending on bandwidth or comfort. Licensed professionals can guide how often to meet and suggest practices to use between meetings so progress continues between sessions.
