About Nanine
Nanine "Marie" Dickson is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and other life challenges. She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help clients notice choices and build on strengths. Marie writes plainly and focuses on actions clients can try between sessions.
She brings a background in education and counseling to her clinical work. Her training includes a master's degree in Education and Counseling and she holds LPC and LMHC credentials.
Background and approach
Over a dozen years of counseling experience inform her approach. In sessions she leans on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered techniques to listen and follow what matters to each person.
Those methods help clients map small, concrete changes they can try right away. Marie pays attention to attachment themes and how early relationships shape current reactions. Mindfulness tools are used to calm intense feelings and create space for different choices.
Solution-focused ideas keep work practical and goal-oriented so progress is measurable. She commonly supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, compassion fatigue, career decisions, and mood struggles. For someone feeling stuck or overwhelmed, sessions aim to clarify options and strengthen coping skills.
The tone is collaborative and down-to-earth.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions and expectations. Online work can explore these patterns and help identify new ways of relating when strong emotions or trust issues come up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead so goals reflect what matters most to the individual.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help assess needs, goals, and preferences and try strategies that fit the person's situation. Clients and the therapist adjust methods over time so the plan stays practical and meaningful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with busy schedules and changing daily routines.
