About Natalie

Natalie Alepin is a licensed counselor with long experience in crisis, outpatient, and inpatient care. She holds LPC and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credentials and has worked in a range of clinical settings over many years. Natalie aims to provide steady, respectful support to people facing tough life moments.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions tend to be conversational and practical. She listens first, then helps clients try small changes that fit their daily life.

Background and approach

Natalie uses a mix of familiar therapy methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based choices when feelings are overwhelming.

Client-Centered work focuses on respect, empathy, and understanding from the therapist. She has experience with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, trauma, sleep and eating concerns, parenting questions, and coping with life changes. Natalie also brings work with chronic illness, caregiving stress, and issues around aging and loss into sessions when relevant.

Therapy sessions are tailored to each person. Natalie works collaboratively to set goals and tries practical tools clients can use between meetings. Her approach is patient and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Approaches you can use online with a licensed professional

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers understanding and respect so clients can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they shape a plan and try methods that fit the person’s life and needs.

Online sessions make this work more flexible. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face-to-face from different locations, while phone, live chat, and text messaging provide shorter or more convenient check-ins. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity when travel or health issues make in-person visits difficult.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
