About Natalie

Natalie Scetinkinova is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, addiction, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Her tone in sessions is warm and respectful, and she focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings.

Natalie keeps sessions straightforward and person-centered. She listens first and then helps clients find tools that fit their life.

Background and approach

Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and mindfulness exercises. She aims for clarity and small, manageable changes rather than complicated plans. Her training includes work in marriage and family therapy and mental health counseling, and she holds the credential LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

Natalie has built a practice over eight years and draws on that experience when tailoring approaches to each person. She combines several methods in her work, including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. Some clients benefit from conversations that examine meaning and values, while others use concrete behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

Natalie adapts methods based on what a person needs most. Natalie studied international relations earlier in her career, which helps her connect with people from varied backgrounds. She writes notes that focus on clear homework and next steps, so clients leave with things to try before the next session.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and meeting people where they are. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities, helping them name concerns and choose practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often includes setting small behavioral goals and using brief exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match the client’s goals, and adjust the plan over time. If one method doesn’t feel right, they will shift to another style until the client feels comfortable and effective progress is being made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to use brief check-ins between appointments. For many people, remote sessions remove travel time and allow therapy to happen from familiar settings, while still providing structured work on stress, relationships, parenting concerns, and coping skills.

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.
