Online Therapy in California

Life doesn’t always feel manageable, and it’s easy to start feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply worn down by everything you’re carrying. You may find yourself trying to keep up appearances, telling yourself you should be able to handle it on your own, even as it gets harder to cope. But you don’t have to go through this alone.

We offer online individual therapy for adults & families across California, allowing you to receive the support you need without the added stress of commuting or finding someone nearby. From his office in San Clemente, Dr. Nate offers virtual therapy sessions in CA designed to help you navigate challenges, build resilience, and regain your sense of self. With a warm and professional approach, he creates a space where you can be heard, understood, and supported — all from the comfort of your own home.

How Online Therapy Works & Why It Might Be Right for You

Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy sessions but with added convenience and flexibility. Sessions are held over a secure HIPAA-compliant video platform, allowing you to meet with Dr. Nate from anywhere in California. Once you schedule an appointment, you’ll receive a private link to join your session at the scheduled time with no traffic, no waiting rooms, and no extra stress.

For many people, virtual therapy sessions are easier to fit into a busy life. Without the need to travel, it is often simpler to stay consistent with appointments which is an integral part of progress. Meeting from your own familiar space can also feel more comfortable and help you open up and engage more fully in the process.

If you have been hesitant about therapy due to your schedule, location, or the idea of walking into an office, online individual therapy eliminates many of those barriers. You still get the same professional care and connection with the added benefit of making it work on your terms.

What Virtual Therapy Can Help With

Virtual therapy can support you through a wide range of challenges, no matter what you are going through. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by stress, weighed down by anxiety, or stuck in patterns of depression that feel hard to break. Online sessions create a space to slow down, process your feelings, and start building strategies to feel better.

Dr. Nate works with clients experiencing a variety of concerns, including:

  • Anxiety and excessive worry
  • Depression or low mood
  • Stress from work, family, or life transitions
  • Relationship or communication difficulties
  • Grief and loss
  • Low self-esteem or self-confidence
  • Feeling stuck, unmotivated, or burned out

You do not need to wait for things to get worse to reach out. Whether you are facing a specific situation or just feeling like yourself less and less lately, virtual therapy can help you move forward with clarity and support.

Common Questions About Virtual Therapy

It’s completely natural to have questions about how virtual therapy works and whether it’s the right choice for you. Here are answers to some of the most common concerns people have when considering online sessions. If your question isn’t included, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Dr. Nate is always happy to talk through your unique situation and help you feel confident about taking the next step.

  • Can you provide virtual therapy to anyone in California?

    Yes. Dr. Nate offers virtual therapy sessions to clients anywhere in the state of California. He regularly works with clients in Orange County, Los Angeles County, San Diego County, Riverside County, and throughout the Bay Area. However, he can only provide therapy to clients who are physically located in California and cannot offer virtual therapy outside the state.


  • Is virtual therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

    Yes. Research shows that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many mental health concerns. A 2022 study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology found that telehealth therapy produced similar outcomes to traditional in-person therapy for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD (source). Many clients also find that the convenience of online sessions makes it easier to stay consistent, which is an important part of progress.



  • How do I join my virtual session?

    Once you schedule your appointment, you’ll receive a secure link to join your session at the scheduled time. All you need is a private space, a reliable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone.


  • What if I feel uncomfortable opening up over video?

    It’s normal to feel a little unsure at first. Many clients find that meeting from the comfort of their own home actually makes it easier to relax and open up during sessions.


  • Can I switch to in-person sessions later?

    Yes. Dr. Nate also offers in-person therapy at his office in San Clemente, California. You are welcome to choose the option that works best for you at any time.
