About Natalie

Dr. Natalie Gutierrez brings 27 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, eating and body image concerns, coping with life changes, grief, addiction, and other mood and behavioral issues.

Background and approach

She practices from Florida as a licensed psychologist - FL Psychologist PY6584 - and has extensive background in behavioral approaches that support weight management, adaptation to medical diagnoses, caregiver strain, and a range of life transitions. Her manner is warm and interactive, rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Dr. Gutierrez blends cognitive-behavioral tools with attachment-focused thinking and elements of dialectical behavior and mindfulness to create individualized plans.

She emphasizes practical skills for managing emotions, shifting unhelpful patterns, and building healthier routines while avoiding stigmatizing labels. Clients who work with her can expect collaborative goal-setting and treatment tailored to their circumstances, whether addressing parenting or career concerns, intimacy and sexual health issues, sleep and energy problems, or longer-standing mood disorders.

She encourages people ready to pursue change and offers support aimed at empowerment, resilience, and clearer next steps.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care and skills work



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete strategies to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and many stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and their impact on current connections and intimacy, helping people understand and reshape how they relate to others. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and it can be useful when strong emotions or relationship instability interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, try relevant techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful for their needs and preferences. This shared exploration helps match methods to practical goals and circumstances.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to fit skill practice and check-ins into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
