Natalie Dunn

Natalie Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and offers a warm, nonjudgmental style that aims to make starting therapy feel manageable. Natalie emphasizes empathy and respect in conversations with clients.

She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2012 and has practiced for 10 years. Natalie has worked with individuals across the lifespan and with a range of concerns from common mental health struggles to more severe conditions. Her caseload has included people coping with depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger management, behavior change, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and addiction-related issues.

Natalie favors clear conversation, practical thinking tools, and straightforward strategies. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside talk therapy to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and solve immediate problems. Her approach emphasizes removing labels and reducing stigma so clients feel seen as people first.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Natalie encourages clients to set goals together and to test what works in day-to-day life. She frames therapy as a shared effort to restore routine and improve functioning.

She works in the Dallas–Fort Worth area of Texas and conducts sessions in English. To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Approaches that help you manage strong emotions

Evidence-based techniques Natalie uses focus on clear, practical steps. Cognitive behavioral methods teach people to notice thoughts and behaviors that feed anger, anxiety, or low mood, then test small changes to see what helps. Talk therapy creates space to name feelings, sort priorities, and practice calmer responses in everyday situations.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to current needs, goals, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try strategies, track results, and adjust the plan so it fits the client's life and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often find virtual sessions useful for keeping continuity of care and for practicing skills between in-person meetings, depending on the formats available with this therapist.
