About Nina
Nina Niemetta is a licensed social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and grief issues. She brings 14 years of experience and aims to meet people where they are. Her tone in sessions is warm and nonjudgmental, and she works to create practical steps parents and families can use right away.
Nina earned a Master of Social Work degree from Wayne State University and holds the LMSW credential.
Background and approach
She has worked with adults and families facing mood disorders, behavioral concerns, trauma and abuse, boundary issues, and life transitions. That background gives her a broad view of how family patterns and individual struggles connect. Her style blends client-centered care with solution-focused techniques.
She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness tools to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox when people want help finding the momentum to change. In sessions she listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals.
Parents often leave with specific ideas to try at home and ways to handle stress or conflict more calmly. The focus is on small, steady progress rather than quick fixes. Nina aims to support the whole person by addressing emotional, behavioral, and practical needs.
She works in English from Michigan and uses a straightforward approach so families can make measurable changes over time.
How chosen approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can explore what matters to them. This approach helps people clarify values and goals and can be useful when parenting or family roles feel unclear.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thinking that lead to stress or conflict and replaces them with practical strategies. It often includes short exercises and behavior changes that translate well to remote sessions and at-home practice.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions. Those practices are easy to demonstrate on video or through guided audio in between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts tactics as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text messaging for shorter check-ins or reminders. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while juggling family schedules, school, and work commitments.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
