Natalie Wakeley , LPC

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and challenges related to parenting and intimacy. She works with people facing mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and with those coping with grief, career shifts, and compassion fatigue. Natalie focuses on women's issues among other areas of concern and aims to make therapy practical and understandable.

Natalie uses a mix of therapy styles to meet each person's needs. She emphasizes the connection between body and mind and brings that perspective into sessions. Clients can expect conversations that look for root causes and then build concrete skills to reduce distress. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client's comfort.

With six years of clinical experience, Natalie draws on several approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, solution-focused work, and somatic methods. She adapts these approaches rather than relying on a single tool. That flexibility helps when symptoms overlap or when a new stressor emerges.

Natalie is based in Georgia and meets with people using a range of online formats. She helps people who are dealing with attachment concerns, body image, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and dissociation among other issues. The aim is steady progress through doable steps and clear goals.

Her style blends practical skill-building with attention to emotional and bodily experience. Natalie supports people who want to better understand their patterns, strengthen coping skills, and make changes that fit their daily lives.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, breaks problems into thoughts and behaviors. It focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking, testing beliefs, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills for high-intensity emotions and relationship struggle. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and body sensations to ease stress and improve emotional balance.

Natalie approaches choice of method as a team effort. She will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels most useful. Together the therapist and client try an approach, review how it’s working, and adjust as needed so the plan fits daily life and personal preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and flexibility to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and health demands.
