About Nannina
Nannina Leo is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical therapy to help people manage stress and anxiety. She emphasizes clear conversation and steady support during emotional ups and downs. Her style is calm and direct, aimed at making change feel possible and manageable.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. Clients often come for help with relationships, family tensions, or struggles at work. She also supports people facing depression, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and challenges with intimacy or self-esteem.
ADHD and bipolar concerns are among the issues she addresses as well. Sessions focus on concrete steps and simple skills to use between appointments. Conversations aim to be honest and nonjudgmental so people can try new ways of coping.
Progress is shaped by small, practical changes rather than quick fixes. Nannina holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and has six years of experience in the field. She provides services from Nevada and conducts sessions in English.
If someone prefers flexible formats, she offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Online approaches that teach skills and build motivation
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into small, changeable parts.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills. It helps when feelings feel overwhelming and when people want tools to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is especially helpful when someone feels uncertain or ambivalent about taking next steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Adaptations are made over time based on what is helpful in sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction; phone works well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
