About Nina

Nina Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and mood concerns. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel practical and doable for busy parents and caregivers. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that fit real life.

Nina brings five years of clinical experience in Texas and draws from several therapy methods to match each person's needs.

Background and approach

She uses skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills help with emotion regulation and staying grounded during intense moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy offers tools for noticing difficult feelings and acting in line with values.

Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Nina mixes these approaches to build coping skills and clearer communication for everyday stresses. Her sessions move at a parent's pace - focused, practical, and collaborative.

She helps parents talk through parenting strain, grief, and family-related stress while addressing related issues like low self-esteem, impulsivity, or social anxiety. The aim is clearer priorities, more steady moods, and better ways to handle change. Many clients appreciate straightforward guidance and concrete tools.

Nina works in English and maintains licensure as an LPC in Texas, number TX LPC 83431. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Therapeutic methods that work well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where values and meaning matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice. It often helps with panic, social anxiety, and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense feelings and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor methods to fit. That collaborative process helps focus sessions on tools that actually help day-to-day parenting and coping.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy caregivers. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging can work for shorter check-ins or when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to practice new skills between sessions.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
