About Nathalie

Nathalie Carrera is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She provides calm, practical support for concerns like trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Nathalie speaks English and Spanish and brings nine years of professional experience to her work.

Her approach focuses on building a trusting relationship where clients can speak openly without judgment. She aims to make sessions feel safe and straightforward, so people can focus on what matters to them.

Background and approach

Nathalie uses tools that match each person’s situation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. In practice she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, doable behavior changes.

Emotionally-focused and dialectical skills help when feelings feel overwhelming or relationships are strained. Nathalie has supported people through separation, adoption and foster care concerns, immigration stress, caregiver strain, and issues tied to family of origin. She also addresses isolation, life purpose questions, and pregnancy or childbirth related stress.

Her work often includes communication skills and strategies for managing control and abandonment worries. Sessions can include short-term skill building or longer work on deeper patterns. Nathalie encourages steady progress at a pace that feels right for each person.

She helps people set clear goals and track small wins along the way.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for family concerns

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and feelings. It can help people understand why certain interactions trigger strong reactions and guide changes in how they relate to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It is practical and often involves homework between sessions.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist does together with each person. Nathalie will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as needed. The work is collaborative and paced to match what the client wants to address first.

Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, keep regular contact, and use shorter check-ins when that helps. Remote formats let people practice skills between meetings and review progress with their licensed professional in a flexible way.

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.
