About Nannina

Nannina Leo is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and build stronger self worth. She is based in Nevada and brings six years of hands-on practice to conversations about life changes and emotional strain.

She helps people facing relationship or family conflict talk through what matters to them. Career concerns, grief, and struggles with mood or addictive behaviors are also common topics she addresses. Nannina aims to create a calm space where clients can share their thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Her sessions tend to be direct and practical. She uses structured methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new ways of coping, and set realistic goals. Clients work together with her to track small steps forward rather than chase quick fixes.

Nannina places value on steady progress and on building skills that carry beyond sessions. She supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and trauma or abuse histories. She also offers help around identity and LGBT-related concerns.

Taking that first step can feel hard, and she frames therapy as a partnership. People who choose to work with her typically find a clear, compassionate approach that focuses on practical changes and emotional understanding.

How Nannina Uses Practical Therapies Online

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving how people relate to others. It focuses on strategies like distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and impulsive behaviors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and self esteem problems.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore motivation and make changes feel achievable. It can be useful when someone is ambivalent about change, such as with career shifts, addictions, or lifestyle adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experience with therapy to choose or blend methods. This decision is made together so sessions match what the client needs.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions while helping clients practice skills between meetings.
