About Natalie
Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or intimacy struggles. She also supports clients dealing with parenting strain, grief, career changes, compassion fatigue, and codependency. Natalie writes clear goals with clients and focuses on practical steps that can reduce day-to-day overwhelm.
Her approach combines several proven methods so sessions match each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused work, and Somatic techniques. Natalie pays attention to how the body and mind affect each other and uses that to guide interventions.
Clients can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth style. She helps people find the root of persistent symptoms and then tests small changes to see what works. Conversations may include skills practice, mindful awareness, breathing and body-based regulation, and short-term problem solving.
Natalie has six years of clinical experience and holds an LPC credential. She has worked with people facing trauma, mood differences such as bipolar disorder, and personality-related concerns including avoidant and dependent patterns. Her work also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment, blended family challenges, and chronic health-related stress.
Therapy with Natalie emphasizes building practical tools and recognizing personal strengths. She collaborates with each person to set achievable steps and track progress over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Online sessions often use methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that fit video or phone conversations. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through simple exercises and homework, which adapts well to remote follow-up. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills training, using short skills practice and check-ins that work in regular online appointments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills training, body-based somatic work, mindfulness practice, or a mix of approaches and they adjust the plan as progress is seen.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports practicing skills between sessions and keeping momentum while working toward goals with a licensed professional.
