About Nathalie
Nathalie Contro is an LMFT practicing in California. She brings three years of formal experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist alongside broader clinical interests in adoption and foster care and related concerns. Nathalie speaks English and Spanish and works with adults on common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addiction-related struggles.
She centers short conversations on what matters most to each person. Nathalie aims to help people find clearer ways to cope with stress, express needs, and handle conflict. Sessions focus on practical tools, increased awareness, and stronger communication so daily life and relationships feel more manageable.
Her background blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered care and cognitive-behavioral techniques. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and Jungian concepts where useful. That mix is used to build insight and teach skills for emotion regulation, relationship patterns, and behavior change.
Nathalie emphasizes collaboration and meeting people where they are. Therapy often involves noticing patterns, practicing new responses, and using techniques like breathwork or guided imagery to build balance. She aims to help clients tap their own intuition and strengths during the work.
People who choose her often want a direct yet compassionate style. Nathalie supports adults dealing with grief, trauma, bipolar challenges, caregiving strain, body-image and intimacy issues, and life changes. For adoption and foster care concerns she offers focused attention on related losses, attachment questions, and navigating family roles.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current bonds. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people shift toward more secure ways of relating, which can aid relationship and intimacy concerns.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection so people can clarify goals and make choices that feel right for them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and skills-oriented. It helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change them, useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nathalie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may shift over time as goals evolve.
Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking, since the profile does not specify which online or in-person options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a calmer check-in during short breaks. It also lets people continue work during life transitions while using the same therapeutic approaches described above.
