About Nathaniel

Nathaniel (Nate) Lamkin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 24 years of clinical experience rooted in hospice, palliative care, and oncology social work.

Background and approach

He has supported many people through grief, serious illness counseling, and complex family conversations about advance care planning, combining practical care with emotional support. Nate’s background includes executive leadership coaching developed through five years with Vistage Worldwide, where he worked alongside leaders to strengthen professional resilience and personal growth.

He draws on a range of evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered approaches, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. These tools help him address concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, career issues, and coping with major life changes.

Based in Colorado, Nate aims to help clients build coping skills, increase self-understanding, and navigate transitions with clearer goals and more effective strategies.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Online sessions draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and emotionally-focused and client-centered methods to address practical and relational concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve mood. Emotionally-focused work helps people recognize and reorganize emotional responses in relationships and in coping with loss or major life changes. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the individual's experience, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard to support self-exploration and resilience.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps determine whether more skill-based CBT work, emotion-centered interventions, or a client-led pace is most appropriate for the presenting concerns.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for scheduling around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. These options make it easier to access consistent support from Colorado without needing to travel, and they allow adjustments over time as needs and availability change.
