About Nina

Nina Julien is a licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana with 13 years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered principles to help clients identify patterns of thinking and build practical skills for managing emotions such as anger, low self-esteem, and social anxiety. Her work emphasizes clients' strengths and personal insight as the foundation for change.

Julien approaches each client as the expert on their own life, offering a collaborative space to explore motivation, life purpose, self-love, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She encourages small, workable steps and celebrates the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Prospective clients can expect an empathetic, skills-focused practice that balances evidence-informed techniques with respect for personal values and goals.

Integrating evidence-based approaches in online care

Many clients appreciate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for its focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building concrete coping skills; CBT is often used to address anxiety, low mood, and stress-related patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, offering space for clients to explore values, self-worth, and life purpose while feeling heard and respected. When trauma or distressing memories are present, EMDR can be used as a targeted tool to help reduce distress tied to specific experiences.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may combine elements from different methods to create a tailored plan. This shared decision-making helps align interventions with what feels most useful and feasible for the individual.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver structured, skills-focused work and ongoing support without requiring travel, while preserving regular contact and the ability to adjust format as needs change.
