Therapy is not a one-fits-all approach and should tailor toward the individual, I, therefore, use a variety of therapies;
Cognitive
-behavioral therapy, person-centered solution-focused, client-centered, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, relaxation techniques, motivational interviewing. Often life struggles leave us feeling overwhelmed and hopeless making us feel out of control of our wellbeing.

My specialty is working with at-risk-youth and families, individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and all areas of mental health issues by utilizing concepts from
Cognitive
Behavior therapy, Dialectical Behavior therapy, Solution Focus/Strength based perspective, and Trauma-Focused therapy.
My passion as a clinician is to empower individuals, couples, and families learn how to live life free from the emotional, mental, physical, sexual, and spirituals struggles as a result of past and present issues and circumstances. My goal is to allow clients the freedom to express self openly, without judgment, and realize they are the expert and my role is to provide additional insight and guidance. I once read that when the student is ready the teacher will appear, the same concept is true for therapy, when the client is ready the therapist will appear.

I typically use
Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy, where we explore how our thoughts affect our feelings, which then affect our behaviors.
Hi! My name is Natalie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I have been providing counseling to small children all the way up to geriatric individuals for a little over 6 years now. I am only providing telehealth therapy at this time, and I do not offer couples' counseling. My view of therapy is that each individual knows what's best for their own life; they just need someone to guide them to whatever that solution or truth is. That's where I come in! I am an expert in mental health, but you are the expert in YOU.

Clients begin counseling for a number of reasons, something is not going the way you planned, causing dysfunction. Trauma and/or toxic stress can occur at any age. I work with individuals, children, adolescents and family systems as a whole and individually; creating a safe space to express needs allows for individual growth and restoration of the family system.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario (catastrophizing) or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
