About Nina

Nina Foster is a licensed professional counselor with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Her work often includes issues tied to relationships, family stress, addictions, and challenges like sleep or eating concerns.

Nina takes a straightforward, collaborative approach. She listens without judgment and helps people identify what they already do well. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings, plus space to talk through painful memories or current stressors.

Her work draws on several evidence-based methods, including client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Nina adapts tools to fit each person instead of using the same plan for everyone.

She emphasizes cultural sensitivity and respect for different backgrounds. Therapy sessions aim to build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and reduce day-to-day distress so people can make clearer choices about work, parenting, and personal goals.

Nina holds LPC credentials and works with people across a range of concerns, including bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. She accepts international clients and offers care from her Texas practice. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on available times.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Nina draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as low mood or anxiety. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and validation, giving people space to describe their experience and find their own solutions.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help clients notice patterns of thought and feeling without getting swept away. Mindfulness can be helpful for stress, sleep issues, and managing intense emotions by teaching simple attention and breathing habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they adapt techniques so the work fits daily life and personal values rather than following a fixed script.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Many people find remote meetings make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce commute time, or allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. Talk with the therapist about practical needs like session length, scheduling, and whether video or phone sessions would work better for you.
