Dr. Nina Rathmann, LCSW, CSW

Dr. Nina Rathmann is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on concerns such as trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, caregiver strain, and aging and geriatric issues. Her approach is warm and person-first, with attention to practical coping strategies you can use between sessions.

She begins by meeting each person where they are and moving at a pace that feels right. Sessions blend listening with collaborative problem solving. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, goal-setting, and tools to handle daily pressures and complex transitions.

Dr. Rathmann trained in psychology and social work in Colorado and earned a doctorate focused on health and wellness in 2019. Her background includes long-term work with people facing chronic illness, cancer, caregiving stress, and the emotional fallout of loss and family change. That experience informs her focus on life-stage challenges and aging-related concerns.

Her style draws on several practical therapies, including acceptance-based methods, cognitive-behavioral techniques, emotion-focused work, and motivational interviewing. She aims to help people build skills that feel doable and relevant to their lives. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and identifying values that guide meaningful action. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships and personal struggles. It helps people process strong feelings and improve emotional connection with themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Rathmann will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and situation. She combines elements from different therapies to create a plan that feels useful and realistic.

Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as taking a session during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a shorter check-in when days are busy. Talk with the therapist during the match process to learn which session formats are offered and how to schedule sessions that work with your routine.
