About Nina
Nina Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. She works with adults who want practical help for sleeping and eating concerns, parenting strain, addiction, ADHD, or career stress. Sessions are collaborative and focused on everyday changes that make life feel more manageable.
Nina centers sessions on listening first. She aims to understand what feels hard right now and what a better day looks like.
Background and approach
Together clients and she pick small, realistic steps to try between meetings. The work is direct, steady, and focused on what the person needs next. Her approach draws on client-centered therapy to follow the person’s priorities and on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Mindfulness ideas are used to teach simple ways to calm the mind and handle overwhelming feelings. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help people find their own momentum and practical solutions. With experience across multiple states, Nina pays attention to culture, identity, and individual values.
She aims to make therapy a place where people feel respected and understood while working toward clearer goals. The style is warm but goal-oriented, balancing support with concrete tools. Many clients start by identifying one or two problems they want to reduce.
From there Nina helps them build skills for coping, improve daily routines, and track progress. The focus is on usable strategies that fit into each person’s life and schedule.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s goals. Online sessions give space to describe what feels hardest and decide which problem to tackle first, with the therapist reflecting and helping clarify priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and routines by practicing new skills and tracking progress. In remote sessions the therapist and client review patterns, try short exercises during a call, and set simple between-session tasks to test new behaviors.
Mindfulness therapy teaches brief attention and breathing techniques to reduce overwhelm. These practices can be guided in a live call or reinforced with short text reminders and check-ins to help build a daily habit.
Nina approaches choice of methods as a collaboration. She will work with each person to find the best mix of approaches based on goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in early meetings. That plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when a quieter, focused check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can help with brief coaching, quick reflections, or when someone wants written notes to review later.
