About Nanine
Nanine "Marie" Dickson is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and life changes. She emphasizes practical choices and everyday skills so clients can make clearer decisions about work, relationships, and self-care.
She draws on 12 years of clinical counseling experience and a longer background in education. Marie uses simple, focused approaches rather than jargon. Sessions tend to center on helping people notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to take the next step.
Her work often includes mindfulness practices to calm the mind and build awareness. She also uses cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with more useful actions. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current struggles.
Marie favors a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals in view. She asks clear questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people set small, doable goals between sessions. Many clients leave with simple plans they can try and report back on.
Her background in education shapes a practical teaching style. She explains tools plainly and practices them together during sessions so people feel comfortable using them at home or at work.
How these approaches shape online work
Nanine Marie Dickson commonly uses mindfulness practices to help people notice stress patterns and calm habitual reactivity, which can make daily coping feel more manageable. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, giving concrete tools for mood and anxiety. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at recurring relationship patterns and how they influence current feelings and choices.
Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods if something does not fit. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions can stay focused on what helps most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since they were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce commuting time. It also lets people practice mindfulness and skill-building in the settings where challenges actually occur, then bring notes back to sessions for review.
