About Natalie
Natalie Patton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Kentucky. She brings 12 years of experience in mental health and a steady, down-to-earth approach to sessions. Natalie welcomes honest conversation and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who are anxious or overwhelmed.
She has worked in a variety of settings including community mental health, an emergency room, and services for people affected by domestic violence.
Background and approach
Those roles gave her experience with trauma, mood concerns, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. That background shapes how she understands moments of crisis and ongoing stress. Natalie focuses on listening first.
She says empathy, curiosity, and a non-judgmental stance guide her work. Sessions are paced to match what each person needs, with attention to strengths and values rather than only problems. In practical terms she uses tools from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
Those tools help with coping skills, managing emotions, and clarifying what matters most to the person in front of her. People come for many reasons - grief, addiction, parenting strain, relationship conflict, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, burnout, and more. Natalie aims to create a space where those concerns can be talked through and where small steps feel possible.
She is available through online formats for people in Kentucky.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, mood problems, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions and improving how people express and respond to feelings in close relationships; it can be helpful for repairing trust and reducing intense emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She combines tools from different approaches and collaborates with the client to choose strategies that fit their life and needs.
Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and richer interaction. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use the methods that suit a person’s day-to-day life.
