Nahia Soto, LCSW

Nahia Soto is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina who focuses on relationship concerns and common stressors people face. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, career strain, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Nahia aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful. She uses straightforward conversation to find what matters most to each person. Therapy sessions are shaped around the client's goals and daily life. Nahia helps people build practical coping skills for panic, anger, and low self-esteem, and she supports those working through trauma, postpartum challenges, and immigration-related stress. Nahia draws on client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in the person's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. Narrative and motivational approaches help people reframe experiences and find the drive to try small, meaningful changes. Her background includes five years of practice in settings that addressed multicultural concerns and complex life stress. That experience informs her attention to issues like body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, and prejudice or discrimination. Nahia adapts the pace and focus to match each person’s readiness. She invites a collaborative process: initial conversations focus on what the client wants to change and what will feel doable day to day. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on a person's own goals and experiences, with the therapist listening carefully and following the client's lead to decide what matters most. This approach helps when someone wants a space to talk through relationship concerns, identity questions, or everyday strain.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses simple experiments to test different ways of responding. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and patterns that keep causing conflict or stress.

Nahia treats finding the right approach as a team effort. Early sessions are used to identify goals and try methods that match the client's needs and comfort level. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut down on travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work during life transitions or when juggling childcare and work responsibilities.
