About Nathaniel
Nathaniel Johnston is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and related challenges.

He focuses on practical skills for managing difficult emotions, uncovering patterns that maintain problematic behaviors, and creating coping strategies for depression, grief, and life transitions. His work also addresses relationship strain, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating disturbances, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and ADHD-related struggles.
Johnston blends structured interventions with a client-centered stance, tailoring pacing and goals to each person's needs. He draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered techniques to craft treatment plans that match an individual's priorities.
Sessions may target symptom relief, skill building, or longer-term exploration depending on the situation. He offers a respectful, empathetic approach and emphasizes collaboration when setting therapeutic objectives.
Based in Florida, he combines practical problem solving with supportive exploration to help clients make meaningful changes and improve daily functioning.
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills practice, which can help with anxiety, depression, addictions, and sleep or eating concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying values and developing psychological flexibility so clients can act toward meaningful goals even when difficult emotions are present; it often supports coping with chronic stress, grief, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, empathic environment where the therapist follows the client's lead to foster self-understanding and growth, which can be useful for building self-esteem and improving relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be collaborative. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and will adapt methods or combine techniques to find the best fit over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule. These options allow for continued progress without geographic constraints and can support consistent skill practice and check-ins between live conversations.
