About Nina
Dr. Nina Rathmann is a Colorado LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and CSW with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and related difficulties such as codependency and relationship strain. She offers straightforward, steady support for people facing life changes or long-term health and caregiving challenges.
She takes an eclectic, practical approach. Sessions begin where the client is and move at a pace that feels manageable. Expect a mix of conversation, exercises, and goal-focused work aimed at clearer thinking and steadier behavior. The emphasis is on skills that can be used between appointments to handle daily pressures and emotional ups and downs.
Her training includes a doctorate in psychology with an emphasis on health and wellness, a master’s in social work, and an undergraduate degree in psychology. Over 25 years she has worked with people managing trauma, addiction issues, chronic illness, and major life transitions. That background informs how she notices patterns that keep people stuck and offers alternatives to try.
In sessions she draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered methods. These approaches support learning new ways to respond to painful thoughts, set boundaries, strengthen self-respect, and improve communication. If codependency or people-pleasing is part of the problem, she helps identify the patterns and practice different responses.
To start, the reader is asked to use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and uses a cancellable subscription model. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It helps when worry or people-pleasing lead to avoidance and you want clearer priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and introduces concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and repeated behaviors like overgiving. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to feelings and relationship patterns, helping people name emotions and practice different responses in close relationships.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what techniques fit your goals and preferences and adjust methods as you try them. Expect check-ins about what is or isn't helping and practical adjustments to the plan over time.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session choices before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also make it easier to schedule around caregiving, medical appointments, or work breaks. The focus remains on learning skills, practicing new responses, and making changes that carry into everyday life.
