Nannina Leo, LCSW

Nannina Leo is a licensed clinical social worker in Nevada who uses a practical, skills-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies alongside other approaches to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of thinking and acting. She has six years of professional experience and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.

In sessions she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what feels hard. Conversations focus on concrete goals like improving mood, managing intense emotions, or addressing relationship and career concerns. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction, eating concerns, bipolar challenges, and questions about intimacy or identity.

Her style emphasizes practical tools you can use between sessions. That may include behavioral experiments, emotion regulation skills, or motivational strategies to build momentum. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Nannina offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication preferences. Sessions work through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and vary in cost based on location and therapist arrangements.

To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on the therapist’s availability. Nannina aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and focused on small, achievable steps.

How CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing work online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with more helpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships. Motivational interviewing is a brief, collaborative method that helps people find their own reasons to change when motivation feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest techniques that fit their needs. Sessions may blend elements of CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing so the plan changes as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and can be easier to fit into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other obligations.
