I am an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Wisconsin) with 20 years direct practice experience in a variety of settings. These include; residential, in-home therapy, emergency services, foster care, adoption, and outpatient therapy. I worked as a lecturer and advisor in the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Social Work Program for six years. I also volunteer as a Disaster Mental Health worker for the Red Cross.
My specialties include helping people with depression, anxiety, family challenges, self-esteem, life changes, compassion fatigue, and anger management. My theoretical perspectives/interventions include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Expressive/Creative Modalities.
My approach to therapy is to create an open, warm, and inclusive environment. I believe it is important to work collaboratively and practice flexibility tailoring interventions to individual needs. I strive to provide support while identifying strengths. My goal is to discover potential, foster growth, and achieve a sense of wellness.
I look forward to meeting and working with you as we begin this journey!

I just started with BetterHelp a little over a month ago after a recommendation from a friend. I was matched with Nina and it was an instant connection. Nina creates a very comfortable and safe space to openly talk without hesitation. I look forward to my weekly sessions and can’t wait to catch up and open new doors of conversation. I’m so happy (and proud!) that I took the steps I did to land myself with such a wonderful therapist. I can’t wait to see what the future holds <3

Nina has been so kind and supportive through the time I've spent with her. After having multiple different therapists through the past 5-6 years of my life, Nina is the first one I have felt really connected with and felt cared for through the work she put into providing me with extra resources, worksheets, and post-session reflections. Her techniques as a therapist and general personal demeanor make her truly unique, and I feel lucky to have come across her here at BetterHelp. I hope others in need that are looking for someone like her are able to find her!

Nina is kind, caring, considerate and frank in her assessments. She never tries to tell me what to do, only allows me to have a clearer perspective on how I’m feeling, how I’m acting and how/why this may be happening

I have found working with Nina to be extremely helpful. I have learned strategies to help reduce my anxiety, which has made a positive impact in my work life. Additionally, learning to communicate more openly with my partner has improved my home life too.
Counselling is something totally new to me, which I wasn’t sure I would find helpful. Through Nina’s support I have noticed a lot of positive changes in my mental well-being.
In addition to providing extremely useful professional advice, Nina’s friendly demeanour makes her very easy to talk to, which made the process much easier for me.

Nine Powell is an exceptional counselor. She quickly put me at ease, listens without judgement, asks insightful questions, and offers valuable advice. She is clearly incredibly kind, caring, and empathic and has excellent listening and communication skills.

Nina is everything you could hope for and more; she's the real deal. I respect her therapeutic creativity and expertise. She offers out of the box questions, ideas, choices and feedback to help me think differently. I was scared to start therapy many months ago. She created a genuinely safe space to share openly and work through life's challenges, past and present. Nina is incredibly supportive, patient and kind. I am thankful for her help and know I will continue to progress with her guidance.
