Dr. Nina Rathmann

Dr. Nina Rathmann welcomes people facing grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, and the emotional effects of medical issues. Her work also addresses trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and body image issues, and compassion fatigue.

She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can feel heard. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what matters most to them. The aim is practical change - finding steps that fit day-to-day life.

Nina takes an adaptable approach that draws from several evidence-based methods. She blends acceptance and behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and motivational strategies. This lets her match tools to each person’s situation and goals.

She trained in psychology at the University of Colorado and earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver. In 2019 she completed a Doctorate in Psychology with an emphasis on Health and Wellness. Nina holds the LCSW and CSW credentials and has practiced for 25 years in Colorado.

In sessions she helps people name patterns, build coping skills, and try new ways of relating to difficult feelings. For readers focused on end-of-life matters, she lists hospice and end-of-life counseling among her areas of work and can address grief and caregiver concerns.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values-guided action so clients can take steps toward a meaningful life despite pain or loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to weigh goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as needed so the approach fits how the person wants to work.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific formats. Many clients choose online work because it can fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for people managing illness or caregiving duties. Talk with the therapist about what will make sessions usable in your routine and which methods to prioritize during remote meetings.
