About Nannina

Nannina Leo brings a practical, skills-based approach to therapy grounded in cognitive behavioral techniques. As an LCSW licensed in Nevada, she draws on six years of clinical experience to help people notice unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior and develop concrete strategies for change.

Background and approach

Her work often focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship and family challenges, career concerns, depression, and a range of other issues including addictions, trauma, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Clients can expect a collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where emotions and thoughts are explored and practical steps are co-created.

Nannina also integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when appropriate, using these methods to build coping skills, emotional regulation, and motivation for change. She emphasizes steady progress and supports clients as they take the courageous step toward more satisfying and manageable lives.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

She often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and problem-focused, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily life challenges. She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy techniques when teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can help during times of intense emotion.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to evaluate needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adapts methods over time so the plan remains a good fit as progress is made.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, structured treatment across different settings.
