About Nina
Nina Reed is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, and other life transitions. Her practice also addresses self-esteem, anger, intimacy-related issues, career questions, bipolar management, and ADHD-related concerns.
Nina uses an eclectic mix of methods to match what a person needs in the moment. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build on strengths. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are part of her toolkit when people need practical skills and motivation.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations tend to look at what is happening now, patterns that keep problems going, and small changes that can make daily life easier. For parents and adults managing family strain, she helps sort priorities and find manageable ways forward.
Across ten years of practice, Nina has worked with people at many life stages and with varied concerns. She often mixes Narrative Therapy and solution-focused ideas to reframe problems and spot strengths. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Nina draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize listening and building on a person’s strengths. This approach focuses on understanding the client’s perspective and encouraging them to use their own resources to solve problems.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT offers concrete techniques for anxiety, low mood, and stress that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nina will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit those aims. That planning is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help people maintain steady progress in day-to-day life.
