Background and approach
Natalie uses practical conversation and evidence-informed techniques to address depression, anger, addictions, trauma and sleeping problems. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiving stress, career questions, and challenges linked to family of origin, abandonment, or codependency. Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to change habits, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship skills are a focus. Clients can expect a steady, problem-solving approach that names goals and tests what works. Natalie practices in Illinois and holds licensure as an LCPC and an LPC in Pennsylvania.
She offers sessions in English and combines clinical skill with practical life experience.
Approaches that fit your life, online
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely and reflects what she hears to help people feel understood and make decisions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change difficult habits by finding their own reasons and strengths for change.Natalie treats selecting an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, strengths and preferences, then suggest strategies to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan so it fits everyday life.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These formats make scheduling more flexible and let therapy fit into busy routines.
