Her practice integrates evidence-informed approaches so she can tailor interventions to each person’s needs, addressing issues from eating and body image to compassion fatigue and multicultural factors.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Many clients benefit from structured skills and thought-focused strategies, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility, helping people tolerate difficult feelings while pursuing meaningful actions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and can explore their goals at their own pace.

Natalie approaches treatment collaboratively, helping clients choose which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with each person to adjust pacing, blend techniques when helpful, and revisit goals so the therapy plan stays relevant as circumstances change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or mobility constraints and allow licensed professionals to support clients from diverse locations within the state. The range of communication styles also supports short check-ins, skills practice between sessions, and more traditional talk therapy depending on what works best for the client.
