About Nina

Dr. Nina Rathmann offers help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and life changes. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy questions, addiction concerns, body image struggles, caregiver strain, and chronic illness. Her approach aims to meet each person where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable.

She works in a warm, nonjudgmental way and focuses on listening first. Sessions are collaborative - the client sets goals and Dr. Rathmann helps find practical steps to reach them. Expect straightforward conversation, reflection, and skill building rather than clinical jargon.

Dr. Rathmann trained in social work and psychology. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Colorado in 1997 and a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Denver in 2000. In 2019 she completed a Doctorate in Psychology with an emphasis on Health and Wellness. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials.

With 25 years of experience, she has helped people cope with grief and bereavement, trauma and PTSD, depression, medical and caregiving stress, and major life transitions. Her practice draws on several approaches so she can tailor work to each situation.

People looking for a steady, practical helper who listens and adapts the plan may find this style helpful. If you have specific questions about methods or session options, confirm current formats before scheduling.

Common approaches used for online work and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice their thoughts and values, then choose actions that match what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic health problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for mood and anxiety concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where the person sets the pace and direction of change, which helps when someone needs steady support and clearer self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test methods and see what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That process usually means trying practical tools together and adjusting based on what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a work break, or offer an option when getting to an office is difficult. Licensed professionals can still use the same ACT, CBT, or client-centered techniques in remote sessions and focus on real-world practice between meetings.
