About Natalie
Natalie McQuinn is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, and the effects of trauma. She brings 13 years of clinical experience and a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions. Natalie respects each person's story and focuses on building strengths that matter in daily life.
She treats addiction and bipolar mood concerns with steady, goal-focused conversations. Natalie also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, career uncertainty, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
Her work includes helping those coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Natalie uses several evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new habits.
She also applies acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take workable steps toward them. Client-Centered Therapy guides her stance in the room, so sessions tend to be collaborative and respectful. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
She frames therapy as practical problem-solving rather than a lecture. Sessions focus on clear goals, doable strategies, and steady progress. Natalie aims to help people leave sessions with one or two concrete actions they can try between meetings.
She invites clients to shape the plan so it fits their life and routine.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when someone feels stuck by shifting attention from avoiding difficult thoughts to doing what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and developing new routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Natalie will listen to your goals and try different strategies together to see what fits. She will adjust the plan over time based on what helps and what feels manageable in your daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into a busy week. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to follow through on homework, practice new skills between sessions, and keep momentum when life gets busy.
