About
Keith Nelson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed to practice in both Oregon and California who brings 18 years of clinical experience to his work. He has provided therapy, supervised other clinicians, and contributed to research focused on substance use and emotional dissonance.
He works with a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, substance use and codependency, relationship and parenting difficulties, career challenges, OCD, ADHD, and PTSD. He has also supported many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
Keith approaches counseling as a collaborative process that builds on each person’s strengths and potential for growth. He considers the whole person-in-environment - including physical, psychological, social, and spiritual factors - so that treatment fits an individual’s life, stressors, and preferences while honoring personal choice and self-determination.
His practice emphasizes evidence-based therapies and working with clients to identify what is effective for them. While the past cannot be changed, Keith helps people learn from their experiences to reduce suffering and develop greater understanding and inner calm. He values the courage it takes to begin therapy and is honored to support that process. He looks forward to working with you.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, research indicates that virtual therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that fits them best, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Each therapist involved in online care is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch providers if they feel another clinician would be a better fit. For many people, virtual sessions provide an accessible, practical way to engage in meaningful therapeutic work.
