Nannina Leo

Nannina Leo is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anger and other distressing feelings. She brings six years of clinical experience and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her approach centers on clear communication and steady support during hard moments.

She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes. Relationship strain, family conflict, career pressures, intimacy issues, eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and LGBT-related stress are also within her practice focus. Anger is included among the issues she addresses when it shows up for clients.

Sessions emphasize creating an open, nonjudgmental space. She helps people name what they feel and try small changes that make daily life easier. Conversations are direct and practical so clients can try new approaches between meetings.

Nannina uses strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to shape sessions. Those methods guide how she and a client set goals, practice new skills, and address barriers to change. The focus is on steps that fit real life rather than abstract theory.

People who choose to work with her can expect steady encouragement and clear, doable suggestions. She invites clients to take the first step and offers support while they try new ways of handling emotions and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful because it focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that change how people feel. Dialectical Behavior Therapy centers on skill building for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help when anger or strong emotions feel overwhelming. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring their motivation and building goals at a comfortable pace.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to identify goals and decide which methods fit best. That means trying options together, checking what helps, and adjusting as progress unfolds.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know which online options are offered. 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 also gives flexibility for people who need to balance appointments with work or family life. The focus is on practical ways to bring therapy into everyday routines so skills learned in sessions can be used between meetings.
