Natalie Jones , LICSW

Natalie Jones is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who transitioned into social work after a long career in the business field. She earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Wheelock College in Boston in 2006 while working full time and attending classes in the evenings. That combination of professional and academic experience shaped a practical, empathetic approach to helping others.

For 15 years she provided direct support to children and families, often working in clients’ homes as an individual therapist. Her clients have presented with a range of concerns, including childhood trauma, addiction, emotional distress, depression, anxiety, and other diagnoses. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual and draw on a variety of techniques to meet specific needs.

Natalie employs interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, guided imagery, motivational coaching, and the Cycle of Change model. She values honest relationships built on trust and strives to create a nurturing space where difficult emotions can be expressed and heard. Her practice emphasizes the art of listening, empathy, and nonjudgmental support, and she works collaboratively with clients to set realistic goals and address harmful patterns. When needed, she is direct yet always gentle and kind in her guidance.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Natalie integrates Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective and foster a collaborative, respectful relationship; this approach helps people who need a supportive space to explore emotions, relationships, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive patterns. Motivational Interviewing complements these methods by helping clients clarify goals and strengthen motivation for change, which can be especially useful for addiction, ambivalence, and readiness to take action.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Natalie works together with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then adapts techniques so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Natalie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and integrate therapy into everyday life while keeping the focus on progress and collaboration with a licensed professional.
