About Nina
Nina Lupo is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Washington with 25 years of experience. She focuses on practical, steady support for adults and young adults who are carrying heavy stress, relationship strain, grief, or life transitions. Nina writes and speaks plainly in sessions and aims to make therapy feel doable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Her style is direct and compassionate. She uses person-centered and solution-focused approaches to help clients identify their strengths and small steps forward.
Background and approach
Nina also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationships and attachment patterns are central to the concern. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when clients want skills to manage anxiety, panic, or mood shifts. Nina’s background includes work in nonprofit agencies, independent practice, and education.
She completed undergraduate studies at the University of Washington and graduate training in clinical psychology with an emphasis in marriage, family, and child therapy at Pepperdine University. Earlier in her career she contributed to research related to marital therapy methods.
In sessions she helps people address a wide range of worries: parenting strain, workplace stress, trauma and abuse, body image, sexuality, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among them. She also helps people work through attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Therapy with Nina is collaborative.
She offers practical tools, coaching-like guidance, and supportive listening depending on what each person needs. People who want steady, ongoing support or focused short-term help may both find a clear path forward.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online work
Nina draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and shift painful patterns in close relationships by focusing on attachment needs and emotional responses. This can help when partners or family dynamics feel stuck or when past attachment wounds affect current relationships.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person in front of her and follows the client’s pace and priorities. That approach is useful for people who need steady, empathetic support while they sort through difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is often applied for anxiety, panic, and mood management.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before, then shape sessions to match those needs. She aims to balance emotional exploration with concrete tools so clients leave with both insight and steps they can try.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for longer, in-depth conversations; phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or camera use is difficult; live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or ongoing accountability between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
