Approaches that guide online therapy and care
Natalie draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and early bonds to help people understand how past connections influence current feelings and behaviors - this approach can be useful for addressing attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, giving the client space to lead the process while the therapist offers respectful support and validation to build understanding and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and related challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Natalie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Natalie is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to fit into busy or changing lives.
