About Nina
Nina Kaplan Hansson is a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and depression. Nina also works with concerns tied to relationships, abandonment, attachment, and family of origin issues.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on the problems people bring. Conversations tend to track what causes distress now - for example anxious thoughts, trouble sleeping, or recurring shame about past events. Nina listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different ways of responding.
Her background includes years supporting people through crisis and ongoing mood concerns. That experience informs practical steps she suggests, like changing daily routines, shifting unhelpful thinking, and testing new behaviors in small ways. She explains options plainly and checks in about what feels useful.
Clients can expect a direct, respectful approach that aims at clearer thinking and more manageable days. Nina pays attention to how relationships, family history, and identity shape what people feel guilty or ashamed about. She works with those themes alongside symptoms such as low mood, high anxiety, or mood swings.
People looking for an initial session are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting. Nina accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Many evidence-based techniques aim to change how a person thinks and acts in daily life. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; they can help with anxiety, low mood, and patterns of self-blame. Trauma-informed techniques pay attention to how past harm affects current responses and help people notice triggers and practice grounding or emotion regulation skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try different techniques to see what fits. That decision is collaborative and can shift as the work progresses.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the bio does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find online work lets them plan shorter check-ins around the day, use video when helpful, or choose audio when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so the work continues between sessions.
