About Nathalie

Nathalie Donny is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of clinical experience supporting people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and many life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on an integrative framework that blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness and client-centered principles to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for daily life. Her background includes extensive work with trauma, including sexual and physical abuse, as well as grief, intimacy concerns, anger management, parenting challenges, and career coaching.

Her practice emphasizes building practical tools and greater self-awareness so clients can move forward with increased confidence and coping ability. Nathalie also brings experience supervising master's-level counselors pursuing licensure.

Fluency in English and French allows her to work with a broader range of clients in Florida, and she offers care through several online session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy useful for identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it tends to focus on practical skills and coping strategies that address anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-driven action and learning to allow difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, which can help with persistent worry, avoidance, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, empathic space in which clients can explore feelings and build self-awareness at their own pace, often complementing skill-based approaches.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and current challenges, and will adapt interventions from CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing as needed to find the best fit.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for clients with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different communication formats, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
