About Natasha

Natasha Deshommes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people navigate big life changes and day-to-day stress. She focuses on practical support for issues like family conflict, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Natasha speaks English and Haitian Creole and aims to make the first step feel manageable and clear.

She uses conversations tailored to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on concrete goals such as improving communication, managing stress, and rebuilding confidence after loss or trauma. Natasha emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support during these conversations.

Her work draws on approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts, build emotion regulation skills, and tell different stories about their lives. Those methods are used to address concerns like grief, caregiver stress, eating and body image issues, and relationship struggles. She also supports people facing adoption or foster care matters and immigration-related stress.

Natasha has eight years of professional experience and blends practical strategies with listening and reflection. She helps people find small, doable steps that fit their daily lives. The aim is to make progress feel realistic rather than overwhelming.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and offering empathy so the person guides the pace and topics. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through family stress, grief, or low confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problems with motivation.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication skills that can be useful for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and may combine approaches as the work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also make it simpler to continue care during transitions and to balance therapy with work, caregiving, or school commitments.
