About Nina
Dr. Nina Rathmann helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction issues, and the strain of big life changes. She offers straightforward support for eating and body-image struggles, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem problems.
Her work also includes concerns tied to adoption and foster care, aging, blended families, chronic illness and pain, and other complex life situations. She brings 25 years of experience to sessions and speaks plainly about what to expect.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what feels most pressing to the person in front of her. The pace is set by the client, and practical steps are emphasized so changes can be tested between meetings. Her style combines several evidence-informed approaches.
Clients can expect a blend of acceptance-based strategies, cognitive-behavioral tools, emotion-focused work, and motivational interviewing when useful. The goal is to help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and build clearer communication in close relationships. Rathmann earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver and later completed a Doctorate in Psychology with an emphasis on health and wellness.
She holds a Colorado Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and is also listed as CSW. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button.

Online support
How ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify what they value and take small committed steps toward those goals. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and for adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding; this approach often helps with panic, worry, low mood, and eating or body-image concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where feelings are heard and explored to build self-understanding and agency.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time so techniques are matched to what’s most helpful in the moment.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins, between-session support, or a different way to express thoughts when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around school, work, caregiving, and health demands.
