About Nannina

Nannina Leo is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on practical approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She offers steady, down-to-earth support for people who want clearer thinking and better coping skills. Her manner is open and nonjudgmental, and she encourages straightforward conversation about what is most troubling. With six years of experience working in Nevada, she has supported people through relationship challenges, family conflict, career stress, grief, and substance use concerns. She also works with people managing anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. Sessions focus on what matters now and on building skills that make daily life easier. Her practice uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These methods guide short, practical steps and clearer thinking rather than abstract theory. She helps people try new strategies and then adjusts the plan based on what works. Clients can expect a calm space to talk, a therapist who listens, and hands-on tools to practice between sessions. Nannina works collaboratively to set goals and pace the work to the client’s needs. She emphasizes progress over perfection and supports small, steady changes. People interested in starting typically complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Nannina aims to make beginning therapy a straightforward process for someone taking that first step.

How specific approaches shape online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life behavior. It helps with depression, anxiety, and patterns that keep problems going by teaching concrete skills to change thinking and actions.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It emphasizes mindfulness, distress tolerance, and practical skills to reduce harmful reactions and build better coping habits.

Motivational Interviewing is a brief, collaborative way to explore a person's goals and motivation for change. It can be helpful when someone feels stuck or is trying to decide whether to make a major life change, such as reducing substance use or changing routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process includes trying techniques, tracking what helps, and adjusting plans together.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins during a workday, or allowing sessions when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep therapy practical and focused on measurable progress.
