About Natosha

Dr. Natosha Monroe brings over 21 years in psychology and behavioral health to her work. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who has practiced in clinical, educational, inpatient, and international humanitarian settings.

She offers steady, nonjudgmental support and practical ideas for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or life changes. Her style is straightforward and encouraging. She points out strengths people may have forgotten and helps them use those strengths to handle current problems.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear steps a person can try between meetings, along with space to talk about what feels heavy. Monroe draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide her work. She adapts those tools to each person’s situation, whether they are coping with panic, sleep problems, caregiving stress, or the aftereffects of trauma.

She has a PhD in International Psychology and years of living and working abroad, which informs how she supports people facing immigration or multicultural concerns. She is licensed in Texas and can work with international clients in a coaching role when licensure limits apply. Practical options include video, phone, live chat, and text-based sessions.

New people begin by answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and move forward from painful events. It often uses gradual steps to address memories and reactions so they feel less overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems like anxiety or panic going. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what is helping and what is not.

Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to meet from home, on a break, or while traveling. Practical tools, short assignments, and reminders can be shared through these formats to support progress between sessions.

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.

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.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
