About Natasha

Natasha Wagner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Michigan. She brings 20 years of experience and a warm, interactive style to sessions. Her work centers on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of life stressors.

She draws from client-centered approaches to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy are part of her toolkit when they fit a client’s needs.

Background and approach

Hypnotherapy and elements of the Gottman Method are available depending on the goals discussed in early sessions. Natasha trained in Community Agency Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy and holds a B.A. in Early Childhood Education from Western Michigan University.

She has classroom experience at the preschool and early elementary levels and has worked in long-term care settings with older adults. Her background also includes birth and postpartum doula training and certified diversity training through the National Coalition Building Institute. She spent over a decade supporting international exchange students in placement and ongoing adjustment work.

Therapy sessions focus on practical steps parents and families can try right away. Sessions often include talking through current struggles, building clearer communication, and learning small skills to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Natasha adapts techniques to each person’s situation and goals.

She uses a mix of coaching and counseling tools drawn from her training in hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming combined with mindfulness and solution-focused strategies. Her pronouns are she/her and she aims to make therapy accessible and relevant for each client.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for family and parenting support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. In sessions this looks like talking through relationship patterns and working to build safer, more predictable connections that can ease family stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. It is practical and skill-focused, often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns that affect parenting and daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the family situation. Together they will adjust techniques as needed over time.

Online therapy with Natasha includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep continuity when in-person meetings are hard to arrange. Many parents find that short messaging check-ins plus periodic video sessions give flexibility while still moving toward concrete goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
