As an LPC, she has met state licensure requirements to provide professional counseling services.

Natalie brings a decade of experience working with individuals across the lifespan, supporting people with a range of needs from general mental health concerns to more severe psychiatric conditions and intellectual or developmental disabilities. Her caseload has included people managing depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, and behavior modification issues, as well as those navigating grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions.

She prioritizes empathy and practices unconditional positive regard, aiming to reduce stigma and move away from labels so clients can focus on growth. Natalie uses straightforward, conversational talk therapy alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients develop practical skills and new perspectives. Her style is approachable and collaborative, focused on making the therapeutic process accessible and manageable.

Natalie recognizes that seeking help is a meaningful step and frames therapy as a joint effort to restore balance and well-being for each person she works with.

Evidence-based approaches and the benefits of online care

Natalie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more adaptive ways of thinking and acting. CBT is effective for issues like anxiety, depression, anger, and behavior change. She also draws on a person-centered approach, grounded in empathy and unconditional positive regard, which emphasizes listening, validation, and collaboration to help clients explore goals and values.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Natalie approaches treatment collaboratively, discussing options and adjusting techniques based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences so the plan fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Natalie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can increase flexibility for scheduling and make ongoing support easier to access from home or work. These formats allow licensed professionals to tailor session length and frequency, respond between sessions when appropriate, and help clients maintain continuity of care while balancing daily responsibilities.
