Nina Powell , LCSW

Nina Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 31 years of professional experience. She holds an Advanced Certification in Hospice and Palliative Care, indicating specialized training in supporting patients and families during serious illness, and a Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling, a graduate credential focused on helping people adapt to disability and health-related life changes.

Throughout her career she has supported survivors of domestic violence and people living with a range of disabilities, helping them cope with illness and manage life stressors. For the past 29 years her primary focus has been working closely with adults, children, and families affected by cancer - providing counseling, linking families with relevant resources during treatment, and offering guidance on caregiving challenges and changes in self-image and control.

Her practice also emphasizes end-of-life care, caregiver support and compassion fatigue, and intensive bereavement counseling for those who have experienced sudden or traumatic losses. Nina brings decades of experience to help people process grief, navigate life transitions, and move toward healing, offering steady clinical support grounded in practical resources and empathy.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Nina Powell integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy centers on creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where individuals lead the conversation and explore their goals and values - it is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression and improve daily coping. Emotionally-focused therapy helps individuals and families understand and express core emotions and attachment needs, making it especially useful for relationship concerns and processing grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nina collaborates with each person to tailor methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as the work unfolds to best support progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - allowing people to access consistent care from home, during breaks in a workday, or while managing caregiving responsibilities. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of support while addressing practical life demands.
