About Nina

Nina Thompkins is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, self-esteem, and life changes. She writes and listens with respect and compassion. She aims to meet people where they are and supports practical next steps.

Her work is built on straightforward conversation and a plan tailored to each person. Sessions focus on what is most pressing for the client and on steps that feel doable between meetings.

Background and approach

Nina adjusts the pace and topics to match individual needs and goals. She draws on eleven years of experience in behavioral health settings. That time has given her practice in calming anxiety, improving communication, and building routines that support daily functioning.

She uses techniques that have evidence behind them and explains options plainly so people can choose what fits. Nina emphasizes collaboration. She invites questions and checks in about progress often.

When something isn’t working, she changes the approach rather than sticking with one method. Practical matters are part of her approach. She helps people set realistic steps, practice new skills, and notice small changes.

The aim is to make life easier to manage between sessions as well as during them.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Many of her sessions use evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building new skills. One common approach is skills-based training that teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing, pacing activity, and breaking worries into manageable steps. These tools are useful when anxiety affects daily routines or sleep.

She also uses problem-solving and behavior-focused strategies to address relationship and family concerns. This involves identifying specific interactions that cause strain, practicing different responses, and testing changes in small steps. These methods are aimed at improving communication and reducing recurring conflict.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will review what is most important to the client, try methods that suit the person’s goals, and adjust as progress is tracked. The process is collaborative, with frequent check-ins and changes if something isn’t working.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or clients prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work for short check-ins, quick skill practice, or when someone needs flexible timing. Overall, these options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
