Nina Powell

Nina Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than three decades of experience supporting people through loss, illness, and major life changes. She works with adults on grief, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and the demands that come with caregiving and serious illness.

She uses straightforward, person-centered work to help people name what matters and decide next steps. Her background includes long-term work with people affected by cancer, offering counseling for patients and guidance for those who care for them. That experience also led to focused work around compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.

Nina has supported people facing the end of life and helped families navigate practical and emotional challenges during that time. She has also provided intensive bereavement counseling after sudden or unexpected losses, helping people move through the early stages of grief and rebuild daily routines.

Her approach pulls from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused work, narrative tools, and psychodynamic perspectives. Sessions tend to be practical and conversational, with attention to feelings, thinking patterns, and personal stories that shape how someone copes.

Across 31 years in the field, she has linked clients with community resources and services when needed. Nina works from Florida and holds LCSW licensure in both Florida and Maine. If you are looking for help with grief, caregiving stress, illness-related concerns, or end-of-life matters, she can offer steady support as you find your way forward.

Therapeutic approaches that fit online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can decide what matters next. It helps when someone needs space to talk about loss, caregiving strain, or life changes and to find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with illness-related worries.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and how they shape relationships and self-understanding. This approach can help people process grief, mend strained connections, and learn to express difficult feelings more clearly.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your needs and goals and suggest approaches that seem to fit. Together you can try different techniques and pick what helps most for your situation.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, allow quick check-ins when needed, and offer quieter surroundings or reduced visual demands when that is helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt the chosen approaches to work effectively over distance while focusing on practical steps and emotional support.
