Nina Niemetta , LMSW

Nina Niemetta is a licensed social worker with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, ADHD, addiction concerns, grief, anger, and self-esteem difficulties. Nina brings a calm, practical presence to sessions and focuses on small steps clients can use right away.

She takes a person-centered approach that centers each individual's goals and values. Sessions are collaborative and solution-focused, with an emphasis on skills that help people cope with life changes and everyday stress. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to build present-moment awareness.

Nina also uses motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. This approach helps clarify what matters most and boosts commitment to achievable goals. She pays attention to family of origin patterns, blended family issues, codependency, and caregiver stress when those topics come up in sessions.

Her work often addresses complex themes such as abandonment, avoidant personality traits, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She supports clients working through forgiveness, guilt and shame, and relationship boundary issues. Nina includes practical exercises and homework when they fit the client's needs.

Nina earned her Master of Social Work from Wayne State University and holds an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - in Michigan. She offers sessions in English and uses a straightforward, nonjudgmental style to help people find balance and move forward.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and values and encourages honest, collaborative conversations about what matters. It helps people who want a therapist who listens closely and follows their lead.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and managing mood symptoms.

Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment calm. It pairs well with CBT when people want tools to ease stress and build tolerance for difficult emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust plans together so the approach fits the client's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, live chat offers brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, caregiving, or busy schedules.
