How Natalie works
With 15 years of experience, she has worked with people navigating major transitions and ongoing health concerns. She also supports those dealing with isolation, questions about life purpose, and issues common in young adulthood. Her background in social work informs a practical, person-centered way of working.
In a session Natalie often teaches simple Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to shift thinking patterns and reduce overwhelm. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals so progress feels real. Sessions aim to be concrete and doable rather than abstract.
People can expect a calm, warm presence and a focus on tools they can use between sessions. Natalie is based in California and works in English. She approaches each person as an individual and helps them find steps that fit their life.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions let the therapist teach practical exercises, like thought records and behavioral experiments, and coach clients through using them in daily life. This approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable goals and steps that build progress quickly. In remote sessions the therapist and client identify what is already working, set a clear next step, and check progress each time. This can be useful for coping with life changes, feelings of isolation, and finding a sense of purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Natalie will discuss goals, preferences, and which methods feel most useful, and then adjust the plan as needed. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what fits a person's daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text work well for quick reflections, check-ins, or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
