About Nina
Nina Lupo is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Washington with 25 years of experience. She works with adults and young adults who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing relationship and parenting challenges. Nina aims to help people feel steadier and more capable in everyday life.
Nina draws on several practical approaches in session. She uses client-centered techniques to listen deeply and follow each person's pace. She brings ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and improve communication. Her training includes undergraduate work at the University of Washington and graduate study in clinical psychology with an emphasis in marriage, family, and child therapy at Pepperdine University. Early in her career she contributed to Dr.
John Gottman’s marital therapy research project, which informs her interest in relationship work. Over the years Nina has worked in nonprofit programs, independent practice, and educational settings. She has been a counselor, case manager, advocate, consultant, and supervisor.
That variety shaped how she helps people set clear goals and learn skills that fit real life. Her style is direct and compassionate. Sessions tend to be collaborative and solution-focused, with room for slower, deeper work when needed.
Nina aims to give practical tools, emotional support, and a steady presence during difficult times.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects understanding, and follows the pace the client sets to help people feel heard and understood.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers clear strategies and exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change habits that get in the way of daily life.
The Gottman Method concentrates on communication patterns and friendship within relationships. It offers concrete skills for repairing conflicts, building trust, and improving day-to-day interactions between partners.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, life situation, and comfort level. That lets the work stay flexible and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in several formats: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, hold a shorter focused session during a work break, or use messaging for quick support when challenges arise.
