- 13 years' experience

- LCSW, LCSW-C
Thank you for viewing my profile. My name is Nathaniel Reed, but please call me Nathan. I have 13 years of post licensure experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am licensed in five states. I have worked for approximately 10 years as a Crisis Therapist. I have experience with private practice, but I also have a background in medical, school, and agency settings. My Master of Social Work degree was earned at Radford University. My Bachelor of Arts in Psychology was earned at King University. Clinically, my treatment experiences include, but are not limited to, depression, suicidal thinking, disruption of family systems, self-harmful behaviors, personality disorders, addictions, anxiety, bereavement, and trauma. I have specific training in Structural Family Therapy, psychoanalysis, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I can provide individual and couples therapy. I am licensed in Virginia (LCSW), Oregon (LCSW), Maryland (LCSW-C), Indiana (LCSW and LCAC) and Pennsylvania (LCSW). All client backgrounds are welcome for my practice. I believe that people have the ability to achieve positive change, heal, recover, and adapt. I also believe that Therapy can beneficially guide you so that you can make the best possible decisions. My treatment modalities used may depend upon clinical appropriateness. I recognize that many clients need a deeper level of therapy to address severe traumas and life events. I also support those clients who need more solutions-focused approaches. I strive to stay tuned into the needs of my clients. As always, good communication takes practice.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
