Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Natalie frequently uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT is especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship stress, and patterns that keep people stuck. Mindfulness Therapy is offered as a supportive approach that helps clients develop present-moment awareness and stress reduction through simple attention and breathing practices, which can reduce reactivity and improve focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another approach she integrates to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a method often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Natalie works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so treatment feels responsive and practical. She aims to empower clients to use tools that match their daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other responsibilities, and let therapists and clients focus on skill-building and problem solving in formats that suit each person’s comfort and routine. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches effectively in remote formats to support progress between sessions.
