About Nina

Dr. Nina Marie Maspons practices as a Florida psychologist with nine years of clinical experience. She is listed as FL Psychologist PY10365 and works from Florida.

She focuses on family and parenting concerns among many other issues, and uses clear, direct conversation to help parents and loved ones handle hard moments. Her approach centers on the relationship between therapist and client. She blends practical techniques with attention to life history and family patterns.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be collaborative - she listens, asks questions, and helps figure out concrete next steps that fit a family's daily life. Dr. Maspons draws on several therapy styles to match each person's needs.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tackle thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based coping, and psychodynamic ideas to understand long-standing patterns coming from earlier relationships. Across her work she addresses stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, sexuality and intimacy issues, and questions around identity.

Additional focus areas include eating and body image issues, family of origin work, divorce and separation, and multicultural or immigration concerns. Her background includes clinical work in hospitals, community centers, schools, rehabilitation settings, and in-home care. That variety informs a flexible, systems-minded style that pays attention to each person’s environment and daily demands.

Parents looking for straightforward help with family challenges will find a practical, collaborative clinician in Dr. Maspons.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people live in line with what matters to them. It teaches ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match family values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It offers practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and build routines that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to past relationships and patterns that repeat now; it can help uncover why certain family dynamics keep resurfacing and what to change. Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss each option and match methods to your goals, needs, and preferences. That way the plan fits your family, not the other way around. Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging let families use the format that works best for them. These options increase flexibility for parents juggling work, childcare, and appointments, and let therapists focus on practical skills and real-life problem solving.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
