About Nathalie
Nathalie Contro is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with three years of experience listed in this profile. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, and a wide range of other areas including parenting and self-esteem. Nathalie sees people in English and Spanish and bases her work on collaborative conversation and practical skills.
Her style emphasizes working together to find clearer ways to cope and communicate. Sessions focus on building concrete tools for daily life - for example, ways to manage stress, handle conflict, or improve sleep and eating patterns. She uses familiar, client-centered conversation to help people identify patterns that cause difficulty and try small changes that feel manageable.
Nathalie draws on several clinical approaches to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas help look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) may be used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
She also notes experience with issues such as bipolar disorder, addiction, compassion fatigue, and attachment difficulties. Those sessions tend to combine problem-focused strategies with space to reflect on personal meaning and relationship patterns. The aim is practical: clearer steps to manage problems and improve everyday functioning.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they show up now. Online sessions use conversation to notice those patterns and try new ways of relating that feel more manageable.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following what the person brings. In practice this means sessions that let the client set the pace while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most to them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Used online, CBT often includes short between-session exercises, simple behavioral experiments, and concrete skills to test in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate to choose methods that fit. That might mean trying CBT techniques for specific symptoms, or using attachment ideas to shift relationship patterns, or combining strategies over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, video meetings that avoid travel time, or phone conversations when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help people keep consistent contact with a licensed professional while working toward clearer coping skills and better day-to-day functioning.
