About Nathalie
Nathalie Donny is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and trauma. She also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and body image issues, and difficulties linked to career changes and parenting.
Nathalie speaks English and French and practices from a perspective that blends evidence-based techniques with supportive coaching. Her style is straightforward and practical.
Background and approach
She helps clients learn skills and strategies to manage mood, reduce worry, and respond differently to painful memories. Sessions focus on real-life tools people can use between meetings. Nathalie emphasizes self-awareness, improved self-esteem, and building confidence.
In the background and approach she draws on several therapies that target thoughts, behavior, and present-moment awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and habits. Mindfulness practices are added to increase calm and focus in stressful moments.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and take committed steps toward them. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and Client-Centered Therapy techniques that put the person’s experience at the center of work. Nathalie frames therapy as a collaborative process where skill building and practical problem solving go hand in hand.
Her goal is to give people tools they can use outside sessions so everyday life becomes more manageable. She combines clinical training with coaching to support change over time.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. It can help with grief, anxiety, and making life changes by focusing on actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice, offer coaching, and follow progress using the same therapeutic tools they use in person, while allowing sessions to happen from wherever the client is located in Florida.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
