About Nate
Nate Porter is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) with nine years of clinical experience. He is based in Kansas and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting, career concerns, and coping with life changes.
Nate starts by listening to what the person bringing the concern already knows about themselves. He treats people as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. He encourages straightforward goal-setting and reviews progress from session to session.
In practice he addresses attachment and abandonment worries, body image, communication problems, codependency, and issues that overlap with autism and Asperger syndrome. He also works with people facing divorce or separation, substance and alcohol problems, and complex feelings like guilt or shame. His work includes support for LGBT concerns and family-related stressors.
Nate emphasizes small, achievable changes. He talks through coping strategies for panic, anger management techniques, and ways to handle work or school stress. He helps people organize next steps for career decisions and parenting struggles. Sessions aim to be practical, direct, and focused on short-term progress when that fits the person's goals.
People choosing him will find a clinician who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and who centers the client’s experience when planning treatment. To start, he asks for a clear sense of the issues and what the person wants to change, then builds a plan around those priorities.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Many clinicians who use evidence-based therapeutic techniques rely on approaches that teach skills and change patterns. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression. Behavioral techniques emphasize small, repeated actions and experiments to change habits and manage anger or addictive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit those priorities. That collaboration helps shape session plans and homework between meetings.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule, quicker check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Discuss which format would match the kind of work you want to do, whether that means skill practice, longer single-topic sessions, or shorter check-ins to keep momentum.
