Natalie Wakeley

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She frames concerns in everyday terms and aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable for someone juggling family, work, and life changes.

Natalie takes a body-and-mind approach. She believes physical reactions and emotions are linked, so conversations often include attention to bodily experience as well as thoughts and behavior. Sessions focus on getting to the root of what fuels difficult feelings and building steps that lead to relief.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She works alongside clients to pick tools that fit their situation and goals. That can mean learning coping skills, practicing new ways to communicate, or trying experiments between sessions to see what helps.

Natalie uses several well-known methods in her work, including cognitive behavioral tools, skills from dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and somatic approaches. She blends these methods based on what a person needs rather than applying one method only.

With six years of clinical experience, Natalie draws on that background to tailor plans for each person. She encourages clients to notice strengths and small changes that add up over time. The aim is steady progress toward clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and better day-to-day functioning.

Approaches that translate to online work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and day-to-day stressors. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It often helps when feelings feel overwhelming or when strong reactions cause problems. Mindfulness therapy focuses on present-moment noticing and gentle awareness of thoughts and sensations, which can reduce reactivity and support emotional balance.

Natalie treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what works. Clients help shape the plan so therapy fits their needs and life rhythm rather than fitting them into a fixed program.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not detailed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where problems happen, which can make learning more applicable to everyday life.
