About Nina
Nina Kaplan Hansson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 14 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and depression. Nina focuses on practical ways to manage difficult thoughts and feelings that get in the way of daily life.
She helps people name what feels overwhelming and break problems into smaller steps. Sessions focus on skills for managing symptoms, improving sleep, and coping with strong emotions. She also addresses relationship strain and communication problems that often come with anxiety and mood concerns.
Nina draws on established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She encourages direct, clear conversation about patterns that contribute to distress, such as attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, or family-of-origin issues. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care impacts, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress.
Practical issues such as body image, substance use, commitment worries, and co-occurring conditions are also part of her work. She offers straightforward help for navigating control issues, emptiness, and the ways autism or Asperger Syndrome can interact with emotional health. Her approach is collaborative and focuses on usable strategies.

Practical approaches for online work and anxiety
Nina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, applied ways. One common approach focuses on skills training - teaching concrete tools to manage intense feelings, improve sleep, and reduce day-to-day anxiety. This helps when worry or agitation interfere with work, school, or relationships.Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and attachment. This style examines how past relationships shape current reactions and communication, and helps people try new ways of interacting when old patterns cause pain. It can be useful for commitment worries, abandonment concerns, and family-of-origin issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nina collaborates with clients to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. She adjusts methods over time based on progress, preferences, and what feels most useful in sessions.
