About Nate

Nate Porter is a licensed clinician who works with adults seeking help for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, depression, ADHD, substance concerns, grief, and a range of life transitions.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, he frames clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on uncovering strengths that can be used to address current challenges. He describes the decision to begin therapy as an act of courage and aims to support and empower people as they move toward more satisfying, manageable lives.

Porter brings practical, evidence-informed methods to sessions and attends to both presenting symptoms and underlying patterns such as attachment concerns, codependency, body-image distress, and issues related to divorce or family conflict. He also works with people navigating identity and LGBT-related concerns, parenting stresses, career decisions, and co-occurring problems like addiction and mood dysregulation.

Based in Kansas and licensed as an LCPC and LCMHC, he offers a collaborative focus that helps clients set goals and build skills for lasting change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Access



Nate commonly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize skill development and practical problem solving. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns and teaching concrete coping strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger; this helps people gain more immediate control over distressing thoughts and behaviors. Another approach attends to relational patterns and attachment concerns, exploring how early interactions influence current relationships and communication, which can be especially useful for improving partnership dynamics and family interactions.

Choosing the right therapeutic method is a collaborative process. He works with clients to clarify their goals, preferences, and priorities, then adjusts techniques over time so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around. This collaborative stance helps clients feel engaged in planning their work and tracking progress.

Online therapy with him includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility around busy schedules and geography. These options allow people to receive consistent support while balancing work, family, and other commitments, making it easier to stay connected to treatment and practice new skills between sessions.
