Natori Zaums

Natori Zaums is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Connecticut. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or life changes. She also supports those wanting better ways to handle anger and impulsive reactions.

She emphasizes a calm, collaborative style. Sessions are a place to talk through what is hard right now and to build practical skills for daily life. She focuses on small changes that add up, like learning new ways to respond when emotions spike.

Her work draws on approaches that teach skills for mood and behavior change. Clients learn tools to manage strong feelings, communicate more clearly, and steady themselves during transitions. The work is paced to the individual and adjusts as needs shift.

Zaums takes a direct, empathetic approach to communication problems and family-related stress. She helps people notice patterns, practice different responses, and plan steps they can try between sessions. Progress is often practical and skill-focused rather than theoretical.

People come to her wanting clearer boundaries, fewer impulsive reactions, and more confidence handling conflict. She meets each person where they are and helps set goals that are realistic and measurable. Over time the aim is steadier mood, improved interactions, and better coping with life's changes.

Approaches that translate well to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, teaches people to notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety or anger. It uses short exercises and practice tasks that often fit well into daily life and homework between sessions.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It offers concrete tools to manage impulsivity and strong emotional reactions, which can be practiced in real moments outside sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their goals, needs, and what feels most useful. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Many people find online options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to practice skills in the settings where challenges happen and to bring concrete examples into session for discussion.
