Background and approach
After taking time away to raise three children, she returned to practice with renewed perspective and life experience that inform her work. Natalie uses a conversational, collaborative style in sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that affect mood and behavior.
Solution-Focused techniques guide goal-setting and quick steps for change. Sessions typically focus on practical strategies for stress management, clearer communication, boundary-setting, and improving self-worth. She helps clients identify doable actions, reframe unhelpful thinking, and practice new skills between meetings.
The work is aimed at steady progress rather than sudden fixes. Natalie welcomes adults navigating life transitions, caregiving pressures, workplace burnout, adoption or foster care questions, and those sorting family-of-origin or parenting issues. She offers straightforward support to help people feel more grounded and make decisions that fit their values.
How Natalie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance so people can explore their thoughts and values. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Online sessions use questions and exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and patterns that keep someone stuck.
Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and practical. It centers on small, achievable goals and what is already working. This method helps people leave sessions with concrete next steps they can try between meetings.
Therapy is collaborative. Natalie will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. Together they adjust methods as progress is made and needs change.
The online format offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and homework easier to manage. These options let people pick what suits their schedule and communication style.
