Practitioner record · Checked 9 Oct 2026
Nina Kennedy has been in practice 21 years and is licensed in Kentucky. Nina lists stress, Anxiety, LGBT and relationship issues among 44 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Nina's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Nina works with
Nina lists 5 specialisms and 39 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Nina chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Nina's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
As a licensed therapist in Georgia, Ohio and Kentucky, I bring over two decades of empathic, client-centered experience supporting individuals, families and couples through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on creating affirming, inclusive spaces for diverse communities, with specialized expertise in LGBTQ+ experiences, trauma recovery, relationship dynamics, and mental health challenges.
I am deeply committed to helping clients navigate issues like depression, anxiety, social isolation, attachment challenges, and personal growth. My approach honors each individual's unique journey, providing a safe space beautifully mixed with compassion and accountability, improving communication, and developing resilience through sustainable change, and discovery of one's sense of self.
My therapeutic work embraces multicultural perspectives and supports individuals across various life stages, from young adults to more seasoned clients. I offer a progressive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.

03 · What happens next
Nina practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Nina's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Nina at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Nina is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Nina.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Nina actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Nina's - Nina has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“With 21 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”
Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
