About Natalie
Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, and issues tied to family of origin. Natalie also supports people facing intimacy-related problems, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
She blends talk-based work with body-oriented strategies. Sessions focus on identifying the patterns that keep problems repeating. Natalie uses practical tools to manage intense emotions, reduce anxiety, and improve daily functioning. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns when they show up in adult life.
Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness techniques, solution-focused work, and somatic methods. These are used together to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and learn grounding skills for overwhelming moments. Natalie tends to work in a collaborative way, helping people pick techniques that fit their needs.
She brings experience with adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, body image and codependency struggles. Natalie also works with people managing chronic illness, dissociation, and certain personality-related patterns such as avoidant or dependent traits.
Sessions aim to clarify goals and teach concrete skills for coping with life changes. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment to see whether the approach fits their concerns.
How her approaches translate to online work
Online work with Natalie can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to pinpoint unhelpful thought patterns and practice concrete behavioral changes. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and daily problem-solving by breaking issues into small, manageable steps.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills are practical and can be practiced between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people notice bodily sensations and thoughts without getting swept away by them. These practices support stress management and grounding during moments of high emotion.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works with each client to decide which methods best match their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use practices such as breathing exercises and grounding skills at home between sessions to reinforce what is learned in therapy.
