About Nannina

LCSW Nannina Leo is a Nevada licensed clinical social worker with six years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, career difficulties, mood disorders, and other life transitions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in her work.

Nannina keeps sessions straightforward. She helps people name the immediate problem, spot patterns that keep it going, and practice small changes that can make daily life easier. Sessions combine practical skill teaching with short conversations about what happened during the week.

When relationship or intimacy issues come up, she helps a person clarify what they want and how to state needs clearly. For someone coping with grief, trauma, or mood shifts, she focuses on managing strong emotions and building steady routines. For concerns about addiction, eating, anger, or ADHD, she works on motivators and stepwise goals.

Her approach uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that affect mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing techniques support people who feel stuck and want to find reasons to change.

Nannina aims to create an uncomplicated space for talking and practicing skills. She asks direct questions, suggests concrete exercises, and adjusts pacing based on how someone responds. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.

How CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing are used online

Online sessions often focus on applying practical skills between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to see what improves mood and functioning. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily stressors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and practicing interpersonal effectiveness. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people clarify their own reasons to change and set manageable goals when they feel stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in their regular environment and discuss real-time challenges that come up between sessions.
