About Natasha
Natasha Deshommes helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, relationship strain, grief, or major life changes. She offers a calm, respectful presence and works with individuals to build clearer goals and practical steps forward. Natasha speaks English and Haitian Creole and practices as an LPC and an LMHC in Rhode Island.
Natasha uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters most to each person. She adapts sessions to match a client's pace, focusing on what feels useful right now.
How Natasha works
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's perspective and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Over eight years of work have included support for people facing family conflict, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, and caregiver stress.
She also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, compassion fatigue, anxiety, depression, and body image or eating-related issues. Natasha works with people coping with career pressure, commitment and communication problems, and immigration-related challenges. Sessions may include practical skill-building, goal setting, and short-term problem solving.
Narrative Therapy elements help people reframe their stories when old patterns cause pain. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding the energy to make a change. Her style aims to be direct but warm.
She tailors treatment plans to each person's needs and checks in on progress along the way. Taking a first step can feel hard, and Natasha focuses on steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support options
Approaches that fit your online therapy needs
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the center. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead, helping people name what matters and decide the next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Natasha will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that match those needs. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and focused.
Online therapy offers several useful options: video calls that mimic in-person sessions, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera time is limited, live chat for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging for brief updates and support. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and provide different ways to communicate depending on comfort and context.
