Background and approach

She has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Her practice also addresses mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, as well as relationship and intimacy-related issues. She uses approaches like client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.

Those methods help with practical coping skills, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and setting realistic, short-term goals. Sessions aim to be collaborative and pragmatic. Natalie also works with concerns related to caregiving and aging, chronic illness or pain, family problems, addiction, and multicultural issues.

She addresses grief, guilt, shame, and compassion fatigue alongside life-purpose questions. Her background includes experience with domestic violence, hoarding, HIV/AIDS, and veteran issues. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening first and following the client's lead. The therapist creates a supportive space where the client's own goals shape the work, which helps when someone needs empathy and clearer self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. In practical online sessions this approach offers homework, skills practice, and short-term steps to reduce anxiety or depressive thinking.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. It is useful for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions through concrete techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and tailor methods together. The process is collaborative so methods can be adjusted as progress is tracked.

Online sessions can fit into busy family schedules by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to check in more flexibly when life is hectic.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
