Nathan Ohren , LMFT

Nathan Ohren is a 50+ year-old licensed therapist in California who shifted into the field in his mid-40s to pursue a lifelong goal. He brings seven years of clinical experience working with couples, individuals, and groups, and holds the LMFT credential, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Nathan’s work centers on somatic psychotherapy, emphasizing the connection between the body and the mind as part of emotional healing. He uses a broad toolkit to address stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, LGBTQ+ related issues, and compassion fatigue, while also supporting clients facing attachment challenges, neurodiversity such as Autism and Asperger Syndrome, and a range of multicultural and life-stage concerns.

He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. While he generally avoids assigning formal homework, he encourages practical ways to bring therapeutic insights into everyday life so that growth extends beyond weekly sessions and becomes part of an ongoing self-care routine.

Nathan usually prefers video sessions during the early phase of therapy to establish rapport, and he is open to other communication methods after an agreed-upon protocol is in place. Outside of work he enjoys brisk walks along the nearby beach and spending time with his four-year-old canine companion. Prospective clients are invited to ask questions to determine whether Nathan might be a good fit for their needs.

Could virtual therapy be a good fit for your needs?

Many people ask whether online therapy truly helps. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions - virtual therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person work for many clients. Licensed professionals and therapists use evidence-informed methods to address these issues in a remote setting.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the way of connecting that suits them best - video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.

Therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they want a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers a practical, accessible route to consistent support and growth.
