About Nina
Nina Kennedy is a Licensed Independent Marital and Family Therapist and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 21 years of clinical experience. She practices in Georgia and holds licensure in Ohio (LIMFT) and Kentucky (LMFT). Nina focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression.
She helps people who are navigating early adult challenges such as leaving home, first jobs, study pressures, money stress, and identity questions. Conversations often focus on communication, attachment patterns, and managing overwhelming feelings. Sessions aim to make everyday problems easier to handle, not just to talk about them.
Nina works with issues arising from abandonment, attachment differences, codependency, and dissociation. She also addresses sexual culture concerns such as BDSM and kink, as well as complex mood and behavioral presentations like disruptive mood dysregulation and antisocial or avoidant personality patterns. Practical tools and clearer communication strategies are common parts of her work.
Her practice respects diverse sexual and gender identities and includes attention to the specific pressures LGBTQ+ people face. Nina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support trauma recovery and relationship change. She balances direct feedback with collaborative goal setting so people can try new ways of relating and coping.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques guide much of the work. Trauma-focused approaches aim to reduce the impact of past harm by identifying patterns, learning grounding and emotion-regulation skills, and revising unhelpful beliefs. These methods are useful for people managing the aftereffects of abuse, dissociation, or complex stress reactions.Interpersonal and attachment-informed methods look at how early relationship patterns affect current partnerships and friendships. They help people recognize repeating dynamics, practice different communication moves, and rebuild trust in relationships. These approaches suit concerns about abandonment, codependency, and ongoing relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That collaborative planning includes checking what helps in early sessions and adapting methods over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on difficult days, and remove travel time so a session can happen between classes or during a work break. Different approaches can be adapted to remote sessions, and the therapist will discuss what fits best for practical needs and therapeutic goals.
