Reflective speech is a technique in which the therapist reflects the client's emotions back to them to help them feel heard and understood. This is exactly what Nate is doing by conveying his clients' feelings back to them and confirming his understanding of their emotions. Validation is a similar technique, but it involves acknowledging and accepting the client's emotions without trying to change them. Reframing involves helping the client see a situation in a new light or from a different perspective. Cognitive restructuring involves challenging and changing negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress. None of these techniques are being exemplified in this scenario as clearly as reflective speech.
