Dr. Nina Rathmann

Dr. Nina Rathmann helps people facing eating concerns, anxiety, grief, depression, stress, and other life difficulties. She greets each person without judgment and starts from where they are. Sessions move at a pace that feels right for the individual.

She prefers a warm, supportive atmosphere where clients can feel heard and understood. Her approach is flexible - she matches methods to each person's needs rather than using a single technique for everyone. That means conversations can include practical coping strategies, values-focused work, and steps to change unhelpful patterns.

Nina earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Colorado in 1997 and a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver in 2000. She later completed a Doctorate in Psychology with an emphasis on Health and Wellness in 2019. Her clinical title is LCSW and she also holds CSW credentials.

With 25 years of experience, she has supported people dealing with trauma, addiction, relationship strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and many other concerns. She often blends cognitive and emotion-focused techniques with motivational strategies to help people get unstuck.

People who choose her can expect practical tools and a steady, compassionate presence. The work is collaborative - clients set goals and she helps plan realistic steps toward them. Those interested should confirm current session options before booking and use the Start Therapy button to begin the matching process.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and struggles around eating and body image by shifting focus from avoidance to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which is useful for stress, mood, and disordered eating patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings and relationship patterns, helping people understand and reshape emotional responses that affect connections and intimacy.

Figuring out the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Plans can be adjusted over time so the work fits what actually helps the client make progress.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, and continue regular check-ins during life transitions. It also allows therapists to use worksheets, guided exercises, and behavioral experiments between meetings to support steady progress.
