About Nathan

Nathan Ohren is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and LGBT-related issues. He brings seven years of clinical experience and a direct, down-to-earth approach that aims to make therapy useful in day-to-day life.

Nathan emphasizes a practical connection between mind and body, drawing on somatic practices to help clients notice and work with physical experience. He tends to favor video sessions at the start so people can get comfortable with him and the process, then shifts to other formats when it feels right.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and nonjudgmental. Nathan avoids heavy homework but does encourage small, doable actions that bring therapeutic work into daily routines. He helps clients turn insights from sessions into habits that reduce stress and improve relationships and intimacy.

His areas of focus include compassion fatigue, attachment concerns, mood issues, communication problems, and questions about gender and sexual identity. He also works with people navigating kink, BDSM, and alternative sex culture, and supports those dealing with infidelity and jealousy. Nathan trained later in life after a career change and values collaboration.

He invites questions and aims to set a clear plan together about goals and how to measure progress. Outside work he walks on the beach and spends time with his four-year-old dog.

Online support

Approaches to online therapy and how they help

Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people facing life purpose questions, midlife shifts, and major transitions by encouraging honest reflection on values and decisions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people manage anxiety and stress by building small, values-based actions that fit everyday life.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It can help with communication problems, intimacy concerns, and codependency by identifying patterns and practicing new ways of relating.

Nathan approaches the selection of methods collaboratively. He will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and recommend a mix of approaches. Together they decide which strategies to try and how to track progress over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls are Nathan's usual starting point for early sessions to build rapport, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
