Natalie Wakeley

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and career-related stress. Her approach emphasizes practical steps that can ease day-to-day strain and restore a sense of control.

Natalie believes the mind and body are connected and that treatment should reflect that. She builds sessions around each person's needs instead of using one-size-fits-all plans. Together with clients she looks for the root causes of symptoms and works on changes that bring relief. Sessions focus on skills practice, noticing patterns, and learning ways to handle strong feelings.

Her work draws on several therapy styles, including cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, solution-focused planning, and somatic awareness. Natalie aims to help people recognize strengths, try targeted tools, and track what actually helps between sessions. This keeps work focused and practical.

With six years of professional experience, she brings steady support to people navigating complex concerns such as bipolar mood shifts, attachment and abandonment issues, body image struggles, and caregiver stress. Natalie frames therapy as a collaborative process where clients set goals and try what fits their life.

People new to therapy are invited to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a visit. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location and scheduling arrangements.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online sessions using CBT usually involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new responses between meetings to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. In remote calls DBT tools translate into concrete practices for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be rehearsed during sessions and used afterward.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness exercises that help reduce reactivity and bring attention back to the present moment. These practices can be introduced in sessions and practiced daily to support stress management and emotional grounding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single method from the start.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow focused skill practice without travel, and support consistent check-ins even when schedules are tight.
