About Natalie
Natalie Eden offers straightforward, practical support for parents and caregivers feeling overwhelmed. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and everyday parenting challenges. Sessions focus on clear goals and real steps parents can use at home.
Natalie speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel useful from the start. Natalie is a licensed counselor in Illinois and Pennsylvania with 13 years of experience. She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and earlier degrees in business and English.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in an outpatient behavioral health clinic in downtown Chicago, where she led individual and group work with people facing different emotional difficulties. Her approach blends practical strategies and a person-centered stance. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people want support making changes, and elements of Existential therapy to talk through meaning and life transitions. Natalie has training in addictions and experience treating anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and grief. She also works with concerns such as parenting, sleep problems, relationship and family struggles, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.
Natalie aims to restore personal strengths and help people make choices that fit their values. Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.
How Natalie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps parents feel heard and build on their own strengths to solve problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day needs. She adapts strategies as progress is made and will mix approaches when that helps move the work forward.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins or coaching between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make regular support more practical for parents and caregivers.
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.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
