Natalie Kramer

Natalie Kramer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and relationships. She brings nine years of clinical experience and a coaching background to sessions. Natalie aims to give clear tools people can use right away. She also integrates Christian counseling values when clients ask for that perspective.

Her style is warm and interactive. She listens, asks practical questions, and helps people set small, doable goals. Natalie combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, emotionally focused techniques, and other methods to match each person’s needs. She emphasizes teaching skills for emotion management, healthier habits, and clearer communication.

Her past work includes community mental health and involvement in the criminal justice system with current and former offenders. That experience shaped her approach to relapse prevention, boundaries, and rebuilding daily routines. She has also worked in educational and group settings and maintains a coaching practice alongside therapy work.

Natalie frames change as a process that calls for courage and steady effort. She offers tools to increase self-awareness, manage impulses, and reduce reactivity. People who come for anger, mood, addiction, or life-change concerns can expect a practical focus and step-by-step plans.

She holds a degree from the University of Southern Indiana and training with the John Maxwell Team in coaching, speaking, and leadership. Natalie welcomes clients who want direct guidance, skill-building, and a collaborative plan for lasting change.

How Natalie Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Many of her methods focus on learning practical skills and changing patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood by teaching concrete strategies for coping and problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance to help people manage intense feelings and impulsive behavior.

Natalie views finding the right approach as a team effort. She will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what helps most, and she involves clients in decisions about pace and focus.
