About Nataly

Nataly Perez is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical help for parents and adults worried about family and relationship stress. She uses clear, down-to-earth talk to identify pressing problems and steps to improve daily life. Her approach emphasizes strengths and small changes that add up over time.

Many clients come with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, or stress related to life changes. She brings five years of clinical experience working in California settings that included survivors of domestic violence and other trauma.

Background and approach

Nataly uses a person-centered way of working - also called Client-Centered Therapy - which means she listens closely and builds therapy around what matters most to each person. She pairs that with techniques from Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete goals and track progress.

Nataly pays attention to how culture, gender, and life role influence well-being, and she offers services in Spanish as well as English. She aims to improve daily functioning so people can meet their goals and feel more capable in family life and relationships. Sessions commonly address issues such as codependency, commitment or control concerns, intimacy troubles, self-esteem, and coping with transitions.

She also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and the particular pressures that can follow trauma and abuse. Nataly holds a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential - LMFT - and works with clients through online formats that match modern parent schedules and busy lives.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building sessions around what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs understanding, acceptance, and a place to make sense of feelings.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps and small changes that create forward momentum. It is useful for people who want clear goals and actions to improve daily functioning and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Online therapy lets sessions fit into busy family schedules. Video calls and phone sessions allow in-depth conversations. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep progress between sessions and to check in when needed. These options offer flexibility for parents and working adults trying to balance care, work, and healing.

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.

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.

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.
