Natori Zaums, LCSW - Therapist in Connecticut

About Natori

Natori Zaums is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress and relationship difficulties. She uses straightforward, practical tools to help people manage anxiety, anger, and life changes. Her work centers on helping clients build better coping skills and clearer communication so daily life feels more manageable.

Zaums keeps sessions collaborative and warm. She talks with clients to identify immediate patterns that are causing strain.

Background and approach

Then she helps people try small, realistic changes they can practice between meetings. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her approach draws on proven methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, plus mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques.

She blends these to match each person’s situation and goals. That means sessions often mix skill-building, short experiments, and reflection. With three years of clinical experience, Zaums focuses on helping people strengthen relationships and handle common family stresses.

She also addresses communication problems, impulsivity, and coping with transitions. She emphasizes skills people can use right away at home or work. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Start-up uses a simple questionnaire and scheduling step so families can connect when ready.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and improving daily routines. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful when anger or impulsivity cause repeated conflict or stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and adapt methods to fit their needs. Together they try techniques and adjust what is used based on what helps most in everyday life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy families. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face from home, while phone sessions provide a simpler audio option. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and skill coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to practice new skills in real time and maintain continuity when schedules are tight.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
