Therapeutic approaches and online care with a Nevada LCSW

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety, depression, and practical problem solving by teaching concrete skills to shift thinking and respond differently to difficult situations.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindful awareness. This approach can be particularly useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive or self-destructive behaviors.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style of conversation designed to resolve ambivalence and strengthen personal motivation for change. It supports clients who are working toward behavior change, whether related to addictions, lifestyle goals, or other areas requiring sustained commitment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nannina Leo works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for clients balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. These options make it easier for individuals to access consistent support from licensed professionals and continue therapy even when schedules or distance would otherwise be barriers.
