About Natalie

She uses clear, straightforward conversation to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and find workable steps forward.

Background and approach

She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes small, practical steps toward goals. Sessions tend to center on identifying simple habits to try between meetings and tracking what works. She has experience addressing a broad range of concerns including ADHD, parenting, family problems, bipolar disorder, depression, panic, and chronic illness.

Natalie also works with issues connected to adoption and foster care, autism, hearing impairment, and intellectual disability. Based in Texas, Natalie holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor. She conducts sessions in English and offers live formats that fit different schedules and communication styles.

Practical approaches for online therapy and goal work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice the thoughts and actions that keep problems going and then replace them with more helpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and stress-related problems by teaching skills you can use right away.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what you want to see change and on building small, achievable steps to get there. It keeps conversations forward-looking and focused on practical solutions rather than lengthy problem histories.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Natalie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and tailor sessions so strategies fit daily life. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-building, short-term problem solving, or a mix of both.

Online work is organized around formats that fit a busy life. Video calls let the therapist and client speak face-to-face, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging support shorter check-ins and steady progress. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use new skills between meetings.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
