About Nannina

Nannina Leo is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada who draws on six years of professional experience to support people facing a range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She uses evidence-informed methods to address stress and anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, and ADHD, while also working with concerns such as relationship and family conflict, career strain, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating concerns, anger, and self-esteem. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and emotional safety, inviting clients to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment.

She creates a straightforward, empathetic space that encourages honest conversation and practical skill-building. Nannina aims to help clients move toward greater wellbeing by combining structured therapeutic tools with attention to each person’s priorities and goals.

Recognizing that seeking help is a courageous first step, she supports clients through transitions and complex feelings with patience and respect. Her practice integrates problem-focused strategies alongside techniques that build coping capacity and interpersonal effectiveness, tailored to what an individual brings to sessions.

Integrating CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing Online

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing mood, anxiety, and behavior. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with ADHD-related challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered to strengthen emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that align with their needs, values, and goals. Clients can expect a cooperative exploration of what works best, with adjustments over time based on progress and preferences.

Online therapy formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible options for different lifestyles and schedules. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy routines, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from home or other convenient locations.
