About Natalie
Natalie Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 18 years of experience in mental health. She has worked in hospitals, residential programs, schools, partial care, and outpatient settings. Natalie uses she/they pronouns and offers direct, practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and related concerns.
Natalie practices a person-centered, humanistic approach. She focuses on building a collaborative relationship and then setting clear therapy goals together. Sessions emphasize straightforward reflection and learning skills from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and ACT.
Many people come to Natalie when they feel stuck in people-pleasing patterns, struggle with boundaries, or live with someone else’s moods or substance use. She helps make subconscious patterns easier to see so clients can try different responses. Work often includes improving internal communication and strengthening emotional regulation skills.
Natalie also supports people with issues connected to identity and life change, including LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, grief, and immigration-related stress. She has experience addressing attachment wounds, abandonment fears, caregiver strain, and isolation or loneliness.
In sessions Natalie combines talk with practical exercises drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment techniques. The emphasis is on usable skills and clearer self-understanding so people can set healthier boundaries and manage everyday stressors.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and people who feel stuck doing what others want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily routines. That makes it a practical choice for anxiety, depression, and relationship-related habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and communicating clearly; it is often used when someone struggles with emotional reactivity or setting boundaries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She blends person-centered listening with techniques from ACT, CBT, and DBT so the plan feels useful and manageable.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports practical skill practice between meetings, such as homework exercises and communication rehearsals, so therapy can fit into everyday life.
