More about Nathaniel
- 12 years' experience
- Male
- LMHC
"I am a licensed professional counselor based in Florida, with a comprehensive 12-year track record in the field. My expertise centers around empowering clients to acquire effective stress and anxiety management skills, identifying the underlying factors contributing to addictive behaviors, and implementing strategies for coping with trauma and abuse. Additionally, my experience extends to addressing issues such as depression, adjustment disorders, and relationship dysfunction. I have also had the privilege of working with high-school, college, and professional athletes, focusing on enhancing their performance and overall well-being.
My therapeutic approach is flexible and client-centered, with a commitment to short-term (3-5 days) or long-term support, depending on individual needs. I approach every client with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and compassion, recognizing the unique and specific nature of their challenges. I firmly believe in tailoring our dialog and treatment plan to align with your personal requirements. Taking that initial step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires great courage, and I am here to provide unwavering support throughout this transformative process."

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Nathaniel is great! He's in constant communication with me and helps me with my needs very much. He's a blessing & a tremendous help. Thanks, Nathaniel!
My therapist was very compassionate and understanding. I had one session and I had more clarity and thought provoking conversation then in my past 2 years of therapy.
Nathaniel is a literal godsend. The wisdom he imparts is only matched By the empathy he evokes. 10/10

Nathaniel has been outstanding at understanding things when I cant.
Nathaniel is awesome and helpful.
Nathaniel Johnston was great. I believe he help me in every way.
He’s amazing at what he does!
Nate, can see through me. Even on a video call. I desperately needed someone who understood me and my problems and could pose solutions in a manner I could understand and adopt. He can tell when I'm giving half hearted responses and was able to delicately extract deeper and more profound input. He makes me think, even when I'm not in the mood. I've had so many epiphanies while reflecting on things we've talked about and in even mid conversation sometimes I'll have an "Aha!" moment. I feel like I'm making progress. -Thanks Nate
If I needed to describe mr Johnston in two words it would be professional and expert. He listens very well and breaks down things exceptionally . Knows how to put things into perspective for you so well that a 6 year old could understand it . Highly recommended
