Nina Niemetta , LMSW

Nina Niemetta is a Michigan-licensed social worker with 14 years of clinical experience who supports adults, parents, and families facing a wide range of challenges. She holds an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - and earned her MSW from Wayne State University in Detroit, bringing a background in social work theory and practical intervention to each client relationship.

Nina has worked with people coping with depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, ADHD, parenting and behavioral concerns, trauma and abuse, spiritual questions, relationship and boundary struggles, loneliness, life transitions, and family problems. Her practice emphasizes an empathetic, non-judgmental stance that centers the individual - she prioritizes listening closely and adapting care to each person’s circumstances. Nina blends client-centered and solution-focused methods with a progress-driven outlook to help clients identify goals and take concrete steps toward them.

She also takes a holistic view that attends to body, mind, and spirit, guiding clients to find practical balance amid competing demands. Nina believes that while life will present difficulties, counseling can teach coping strategies, support symptom management, and help people move toward greater wellbeing and personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Nina integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship that honors each person’s perspective and helps clarify goals - it can be especially helpful for clients navigating relationship issues, life transitions, or feelings of isolation. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and practicing practical strategies to shift them; CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which benefits those coping with trauma responses, grief, or persistent stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nina works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts methods over time so the treatment plan fits each individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can provide effective, goal-focused care across these formats while working with clients toward meaningful progress.
