About Nina

Nina Foster is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and changes in family life. She offers a calm, straightforward approach for those feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start.

She aims to make sessions practical and collaborative. Nina listens first, then helps clients notice strengths and small changes that make a difference. She uses mindfulness tools to help people calm their minds and CBT techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.

With 13 years of experience, Nina draws on several evidence-based methods, including client-centered work, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. She tailors each plan to the person in front of her instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions often focus on concrete steps and skills that can be practiced between meetings.

Nina describes her style as compassionate and culturally aware. She strives to create an affirming space where people can talk about difficult topics like trauma, addiction, intimacy concerns, or parenting stress. The goal is to build resilience and clearer choices over time.

She maintains licensure as an LPC and practices with attention to each person’s unique history and goals. Nina accepts clients from Texas and also works with international clients in English. To begin, she asks people to share a bit about themselves so she can match therapeutic methods to their needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Many of her methods adapt well to remote sessions. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and ground attention, often used for anxiety, sleep, and coping with strong emotions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building trust so the client’s goals guide the work, which helps when people need space to clarify values and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for depression, anxiety, and problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaboration means methods can shift over time as progress and priorities change.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how meetings will take place. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to practice skills between sessions in their everyday settings, so therapy feels more integrated into daily life.
