About Natalie
Natalie Norrell is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who blends cognitive behavioral principles with experiential modalities to support people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She draws on 12 years of clinical practice in Montana to offer a mix of talk-based work and creative interventions, helping clients explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and where change is possible. Alongside cognitive behavioral approaches, Natalie incorporates somatic and trauma-focused techniques to address the body-based and memory-centered dimensions of distress.
She also integrates art therapy and equine-assisted activities as optional pathways for expression and growth, inviting clients to engage with creativity, horses, nature, and movement to access new perspectives and strengths. Her practice emphasizes helping individuals reframe unhelpful thinking, develop practical coping skills, and discover renewed sources of resilience.
Natalie frames therapy as a collaborative inquiry that asks for honesty and courage while offering psychological perspective and skill building. Clients work one-on-one to clarify patterns, practice new responses, and make choices aligned with their goals, whether coping with mood challenges, processing traumatic experiences, or navigating separation and other major life changes.
Bringing CBT, Somatic, and Trauma-Focused Tools Online
Natalie's online practice draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic techniques, and trauma-focused approaches to address symptoms and patterns that interfere with daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to produce practical change in the here and now. Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and movement, helping people notice how stress and trauma are held in the body and learn ways to regulate physical responses. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and building coping skills to reduce their ongoing impact.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often begin with an assessment of current challenges and priorities, then integrate techniques that feel most helpful while adjusting over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy lives, allow for varied pacing and check-ins, and support access to licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
