About Nina

Nina Lupo is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Washington with 25 years of experience. She works with adults, young adults, couples, and families on concerns like depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, and life changes. Nina aims to be practical and straightforward while staying compassionate and engaged with each person she meets.

Her style is collaborative. She asks questions, listens closely, and helps people find the tools that fit their life. Sessions often focus on clear strategies and small steps you can take between meetings. Nina also offers more open-ended support for deeper healing after trauma or ongoing relationship challenges.

Nina trained in psychology at the University of Washington and completed graduate studies in clinical psychology at Pepperdine University, emphasizing marriage, family, and child therapy. Early in her career she participated in Dr. John Gottman’s marital therapy research project, which informs her work with couples and communication issues.

Across 25 years she has worked in nonprofit programs, private practice, and educational settings. Roles have included therapist, counselor, case manager, advocate, consultant, and supervisor. That variety gives her a broad view of common stressors and practical solutions.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with solution-focused tools. She also draws on cognitive and emotionally-focused techniques when they suit the goal. People who want a therapist who will invest time and offer clear tools often find her approach direct but warm.

How her approaches translate to online work

Nina commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people name their goals so sessions follow what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral work looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers step-by-step practices to shift unhelpful patterns and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying brief solution-focused tools first, then using deeper emotionally-focused work if needed.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people keep consistent work from different locations and balance therapy with daily responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication to suit an online rhythm so progress continues between meetings.
