About Nathan Ohren

Nathan Ohren is a 50+ year old California-licensed therapist with seven years of professional experience who made a deliberate career shift in his mid-40s to pursue a lifelong goal of helping others. As an LMFT he is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, trained to work with individuals, couples, and groups across a range of relational and personal concerns. He brings a somatic psychotherapy orientation that emphasizes the connection between mind and body, pairing talk-based techniques with attention to physical experience to help clients process stress, anxiety, intimacy concerns, and LGBTQ+ related issues.

Nathan has experience supporting people dealing with compassion fatigue and relationship challenges, and he draws on tools designed to address attachment concerns, communication problems, and life transitions. He seeks to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored, and he encourages practical ways to weave therapeutic work into daily life rather than relying solely on an hour each week.

While Nathan generally prefers beginning therapy via video sessions to establish rapport, he is open to other forms of working together once a communication protocol is in place. Outside of his clinical work he enjoys brisk walks on the beach near his home and time with his four-year-old canine companion. He welcomes questions that help prospective clients determine whether they might be a good fit.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the patterns formed in close relationships and helps people understand and change ways of relating that cause conflict or disconnection. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, giving clients a supportive space to explore their priorities and build self-directed solutions.

Nathan approaches treatment as a collaborative process; finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. He meets clients where they are, discusses their goals and preferences, and helps determine which methods are likely to be the best fit for their needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or when travel is difficult, and choose a format that feels most effective for the individual.
