About Nina
Nina Niemetta is a licensed social worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, grief, anger, relationship and family concerns, and caregiving strain. Nina aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk honestly about what feels hard right now.
Nina takes a person-centered approach that focuses on practical steps and measurable progress. She blends client-centered work with solution-focused strategies to help people identify small changes that make a difference. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to address unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills.
Her style is empathetic and nonjudgmental. Sessions tend to focus on real-life problems and clear goals. Nina encourages people to notice what works, try short-term experiments, and build routines that support emotional balance.
She also pays attention to how physical and spiritual life intersect with mental health. That means conversations can include stress management, self-care, sleep and activity, and values that matter to each person. The aim is steady, sustainable change rather than quick fixes.
Nina has experience with a wide range of concerns, including abandonment, codependency, caregiver stress, family-of-origin issues, impulsivity, feelings of emptiness, and isolation. She works collaboratively to tailor strategies to each person’s needs and pace.

How Nina adapts counseling approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center and helps the therapist follow what matters most to the client. This approach supports trust, clear goals, and conversations that feel listened to and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors because it teaches concrete skills to change thinking and behavior.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Nina will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That means checking in and adjusting techniques over time rather than sticking to one plan rigidly.
Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also allow sessions when it’s easier to be off camera or when a phone call is preferable due to bandwidth or comfort. Nina will discuss practical arrangements and help tailor session length and frequency to fit everyday life.
