About Nina

Nina Lupo brings 25 years of clinical experience to her work as a Washington-licensed LMFT. Nina centers her practice on helping adults, families, and young adults navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and life transitions while also addressing concerns like trauma, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

Her background includes roles across nonprofit, independent practice, and educational settings, and she has served as a counselor, case manager, advocate, consultant, and supervisor. Trained in psychology at the University of Washington and in clinical psychology with an emphasis in marriage, family, and child therapy at Pepperdine University, Nina blends person-centered care with pragmatic tools.

She is direct yet compassionate, favoring client-centered and solution-focused methods alongside evidence-based techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused approaches and Gottman-informed work. Therapy with her is collaborative: she helps clients access their strengths, develop coping skills, and create practical strategies for immediate concerns or longer-term growth.

Clients can expect a therapist who invests time in the relationship, offers targeted skills for specific problems, and supports people through crisis or steady progress toward personal goals. Nina is based in Washington and works with people seeking an engaged, experienced clinician to guide them through change and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respects each person's pace and priorities, helping clients clarify values and build on their strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps individuals and couples understand core emotions and reshape interactions to improve connection and intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nina collaborates with clients to identify which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options allow continuity of care when schedules or location make in-person meetings difficult and give clients multiple ways to engage with therapeutic tools and check-ins between appointments.
