About Nina

Nina Niemetta is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, low self-esteem and other life changes.

She helps people who find themselves putting others first, struggling with boundaries, or feeling drained by another person’s moods or crises. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer choices rather than labels. Nina draws on straightforward methods so people can notice small changes that matter day to day.

Her approach is person-centered and solution-focused. That means conversations start with what the person wants to change and move toward measurable steps. She also uses cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new habits for feeling more grounded.

Nina uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and to strengthen commitment to goals. Together clients and she break big problems into doable tasks. Sessions aim for steady progress rather than overnight fixes.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Wayne State University and many years working with adults, parents, and families on mood issues, trauma, behavioral concerns, and relationship boundary matters. She keeps the work practical, focusing on skills people can use between sessions.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and values. It involves listening and helping people state their goals so sessions stay practical. This approach is useful for relationship boundary concerns, grief, and making decisions about caregiving.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking that lead to distress and then tests new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and managing intense emotions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steady routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs and goals. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting as progress is tracked.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also use worksheets, thought records, and brief mindfulness exercises between meetings to keep progress moving.
