About Natalie

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of experience based in Georgia. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar conditions, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family concerns, grief, and parenting challenges. Natalie also supports clients facing intimacy-related issues, anger, career shifts, caregiving strain, and compassion fatigue.

Natalie takes a practical approach that links body and mind. She sees how physical sensations and emotional patterns interact and uses that information in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on concrete steps people can try between appointments.

Her style is collaborative and problem-focused. Sessions include skills practice, moment-to-moment awareness, and short-term goal work. Natalie draws on methods that encourage new coping habits and reduce reactivity in stressful situations.

She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking. Dialectical behavior strategies help with emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness and somatic elements are added to bring attention to the body and present-moment experience.

Clients are invited to identify goals and test practical changes over time. Natalie supports people who want clearer boundaries, steadier moods, and more confidence in social or work settings. To begin, readers are prompted to follow the site flow for matching and scheduling a first session.

Remote sessions that use CBT, DBT, and mindfulness

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that keep problems going and testing new behaviors to see what changes. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related patterns.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for regulating strong emotions, handling conflict, and tolerating distress. People who struggle with intense reactions or relationship volatility often find the skills useful.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and bodily signals. It can help reduce reactivity and increase awareness of triggers and choices.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then try methods together to see what helps. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on skill practice and consistent follow-up.
