Background and approach
Her training includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and a Master of Business Administration from James Madison University. Her approach centers on listening first, then helping clients create clear goals. She uses client-centered conversations to understand what matters most to each person.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in daily life. Natalie also draws on motivational interviewing to build readiness for change and on existential ideas to tackle meaning, values, and life direction.
She integrates these methods to match what a client needs that week, whether that is short-term coaching or deeper exploration of grief or trauma. Sessions are offered in a variety of remote formats to fit busy schedules. Natalie works from Illinois and conducts sessions in English.
She emphasizes steady progress, practical skills, and restoring a person’s strengths and dignity.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s priorities. In remote sessions this looks like open conversation about what feels most urgent, then shaping each visit around the client's immediate goals and coping needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. Online CBT often includes brief homework, check-ins by message between sessions, and concrete techniques for anxiety, sleep, and mood regulation.
Motivational interviewing supports change by exploring a client’s own reasons for wanting something different. It works well when someone feels stuck and needs help building motivation step by step.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needs and preferences become clearer. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods feel most helpful over time.
Remote sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and more interactive work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit regular care into work, school, or family routines.
