About Nathan
Nathan Ohren is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California with seven years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, and supports those navigating LGBT and intimacy-related concerns. Nathan aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly and explore what matters to them.
He uses a blend of body-focused and talk-based approaches to help people reconnect with their feelings and reactions. Nathan emphasizes practical steps clients can use between sessions so therapy becomes part of daily life rather than a once-a-week appointment. He prefers video sessions at first to build rapport, and is open to other ways of working once communication routines are established.
Nathan describes his work as rooted in noticing the link between mind and body. He helps people learn small, repeatable practices that reduce reactivity and build new habits. He avoids assigning rigid homework but encourages everyday actions that support progress.
He has experience addressing compassion fatigue and relationship or communication challenges, and he brings a steady, patient style to conversations about identity and life transitions. Outside of work he enjoys brisk walks by the beach and time with his four-year-old dog.
If you want a therapist who blends gentle body awareness with clear, usable tools, Nathan offers a thoughtful, collaborative approach and invites questions to see if he might be the right fit.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Nathan often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward those values while learning to notice unhelpful thoughts. This approach can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of meaningful living. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns that influence how people connect and respond to others, and it can be useful for intimacy and communication concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nathan works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He will adjust techniques and pace based on what a client finds most helpful during early sessions.
He prefers video meetings early in therapy to establish rapport, and he remains open to other forms of working together after a communication routine is set. If you want to know the current session options, confirm them before booking so you can choose what fits your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people participate without travel time - all of which help keep therapeutic work consistent.
