About Natalie

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting strain, career transitions, and challenges linked to adoption and foster care. Her style is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.

Natalie believes the body and mind are connected and that therapy should reflect that link. Sessions focus on identifying the root of symptoms and building tools that reduce distress. She works collaboratively to tailor plans to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Her approach blends skills work, present-moment awareness, and attention to bodily experience. Clients can expect concrete strategies for mood regulation and clearer patterns for communication and decision-making. Natalie emphasizes small, steady changes that add up to lasting improvement.

With six years of clinical experience, she integrates evidence-informed methods into a flexible practice. She aims to help people notice strengths, test new behaviors, and track progress in ways that feel meaningful. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what will help in day-to-day life.

Natalie works from Georgia and conducts sessions in English. People using the service follow a matching process to connect and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that translate to online work

CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new, more useful ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical exercises and short experiments to change patterns of thought and behavior.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is helpful when emotions feel intense or when patterns of reacting cause problems in relationships and daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment and to bodily sensations to reduce reactivity. It pairs well with skills training and can help with persistent worry, ruminative thinking, and increased self-awareness.

Picking the right approach is part of the work. Natalie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift over time as progress and obstacles become clearer.

Confirm the currently offered session formats before scheduling, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these options to make regular support more practical while focusing on concrete skills and steady progress.
