Natalie Wakeley, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), blends a holistic sensibility with clinical training to support people coping with trauma, mood disorders, and anxiety. She emphasizes the connection between body and mind and designs each treatment plan to reflect the individual needs, history, and strengths of the person she is working with. In partnership with clients, she seeks the roots of symptoms and supports practical changes that lead to relief and clearer self-understanding.

Her practice includes focused work with Trauma and PTSD, borderline personality patterns whether formally diagnosed or suspected, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety.

She aims to help people recognize their capabilities and put evidence-based tools into practice to produce meaningful improvement.

With an emphasis on personalized care, Natalie helps clients move through confusion, worry, and low mood toward greater clarity and functioning. Her approach centers on building skills, strengthening internal resources, and tailoring interventions so each client can make progress that fits their life and goals.

Approaches and Benefits of Online Therapy with Natalie

Natalie frequently uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which focuses on building practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-destructive patterns. DBT is especially helpful for people navigating mood instability, strong emotional reactions, or difficulties with interpersonal boundaries.

She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy, teaching simple attention and awareness practices that reduce rumination and increase present-moment clarity. Mindfulness techniques can support anxiety reduction, improved emotion regulation, and greater self-compassion.

Finally, Natalie may draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete behavioral strategies for depression, anxiety, and everyday stress. CBT offers structured tools for changing how thoughts influence mood and actions.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Natalie works collaboratively with each person to evaluate goals, preferences, and needs and to adjust methods over time so the plan fits the client’s life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it possible to access consistent support and to practice skills in the context of daily life, helping therapy to feel practical and usable.
