Nina Julien , LCSW

Nina Julien is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 13 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship challenges, address anger and motivation concerns, and build self esteem and confidence. Her work also includes support for depression, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Nina approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources to overcome obstacles. She blends client-centered care with evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to tailor treatment to individual needs. This combination allows her to meet clients where they are and collaborate on practical strategies for change.

She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and treats that first step as an important milestone. Nina offers flexible options for connecting with clients, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, to make support accessible within the rhythms of everyday life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Nina Julien

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. In this approach Nina creates a supportive environment that helps clients explore their values, strengths, and goals so they can steer change at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to develop practical coping skills and problem solving strategies. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-informed modality that helps people process and reduce the hold of distressing memories or traumatic experiences, making it useful for those coping with past events that affect current functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nina collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in their care and confident in next steps.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can access consistent support around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain momentum in therapy and to receive help when schedules or mobility make in-person visits difficult.
