Natalie Kramer, LCSW - Therapist in Indiana

About Natalie

Natalie Kramer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and mood concerns. She also assists with relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and life transitions. Natalie draws on nine years of clinical experience to offer practical tools and steady support.

Her style is warm and interactive. She listens first, then helps clients identify concrete steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

She uses clear language and focuses on skills you can use in daily life. Natalie brings a faith perspective when clients want that included. Natalie uses several evidence-based methods in sessions.

She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses motivational interviewing to build readiness for change and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. She also incorporates emotion-focused strategies to improve how people connect and communicate in relationships.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and situation rather than following a single script. The aim is to help people gain insight, practice new skills, and make changes that last. Natalie trained at the University of Southern Indiana and has worked in community mental health and within the criminal justice system.

She has experience with a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues such as blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and substance use. Her approach blends practical coaching with clinical care to support real-world change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Natalie frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy as part of online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce distress, which works well for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches clear emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong feelings and improve relationships.

She approaches treatment collaboratively. During the first sessions she will talk with clients about goals, try out methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process and she will work with each person to tailor the approach to their needs and preferences.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent work between sessions. They also let people practice skills in the contexts where they live and relate, while keeping the same therapeutic methods and focus used in face-to-face care.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
