About Nathalie
Nathalie Contro is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California. She draws on three years of listed experience as an LMFT while working with people on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, and codependency. Nathalie meets clients with warmth and steady attention while helping them find clearer ways to cope and connect.
Her sessions focus on practical skills and self-understanding. She helps people communicate needs, manage strong emotions, and develop intimacy. Sessions often include tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness-style practices to guide daily coping and reduce overwhelm.
Nathalie also uses attachment-based perspectives to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. That work can help when people struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, or repeating painful relationship cycles. She brings Jungian ideas into dialogue with other methods to explore meaning, dreams, and personal symbols when useful.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone that centers their goals. Nathalie supports insight, intuition, and self-efficacy so clients can try concrete changes between meetings. She describes therapy as a space to practice new ways of relating and to build realistic steps toward balance.
She offers services in English and Spanish and lists a broad set of concerns she addresses, including trauma and grief, parenting stress, bipolar disorder, body image, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue.

How attachment and cognitive work translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. In simple terms, it helps people notice how they relate to others and practice new, healthier ways of getting close and setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into smaller steps so clients can try specific strategies between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change responses to stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then shape an approach that mixes methods as needed. That collaborative process helps make therapy feel useful and relevant. For practical matters, confirm the session formats offered before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people prefer video to read nonverbal cues, while others choose audio for lower bandwidth or to have a simpler check-in during a break. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions like CBT exercises or attachment-focused conversations to work well in remote appointments, and the therapist will discuss which setup best supports each person’s goals.Areas of expertise
