About Natasha

Natasha Deshommes is a licensed counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and brings a caring, respectful presence to conversations. She aims to make the first conversations straightforward and supportive for people feeling overwhelmed by change or conflict.

Natasha uses plain, practical talk to identify what matters most to each person. She tailors sessions to fit individual needs and priorities. Her work often addresses grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain, while also covering parenting challenges and career transitions.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, Natasha draws from several therapy methods to match the moment. She uses client-centered techniques to follow each person’s pace, and cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. She also integrates dialectical skills when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed.

Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, first responder concerns, immigration issues, and end-of-life and hospice-related counseling. She also addresses body image, eating-related concerns, codependency, and communication problems within families. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Natasha works with people in Rhode Island and holds licensure as LPC and LMHC, bringing practical support for those navigating family dynamics and life changes.

Approaches that guide online family and parenting support

Natasha commonly draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead, which helps people feel heard and make decisions at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it helps identify patterns that cause stress and then tests small changes to improve daily functioning.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when strong emotions or crisis coping are present. DBT-style skills teach grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation techniques that can be practiced between sessions. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person’s goals and situation.

Online sessions let work continue from home or wherever it is easiest. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text-based messaging offer short, flexible check-ins. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy family schedules and life changes.

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.
