Natasha Wagner, LPC, LCPC

Natasha Wagner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 20 years of experience. She lists stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship and family matters, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, depression, and coping with life changes among her focus areas. Her pronouns are she/her and she practices in Michigan.

She trained in early childhood education and taught preschool and early elementary classes before moving into counseling. Her master of arts is in Community Agency Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Western Michigan University. She has also worked with older adults in long-term care settings for five years and has experience as a birth and postpartum doula.

Over the past decades she has added work with international exchange students and diversity training to her practice. She is a certified diversity trainer with the National Coalition Building Institute and spent twelve years supporting exchange students throughout their program year. These experiences inform how she notices cultural and developmental differences in sessions.

Her approach blends attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, elements of the Gottman Method, and hypnotherapy. She uses practical tools such as mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and coaching skills from neuro-linguistic programming to address daily problems and relationship patterns.

In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful messages they learned early on and notice how those patterns show up now. She works with clients to practice skills, try new behaviors, and evaluate what actually helps in real life. That makes room for clearer choices about relationships, parenting, work, and coping with loss or change.
