About Natalie
Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting stress, and codependency. Natalie uses psychotherapy to help people understand what keeps them stuck and to learn clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.
Natalie describes therapy as a practical, body-aware process. She pays attention to how feelings show up in the body as well as in thoughts and behaviors. Sessions focus on concrete skills alongside deeper reflection. That means learning ways to manage strong emotions, build boundaries, and communicate more clearly.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and somatic methods. She combines these tools to help people manage anxiety, regulate mood, and respond differently to triggering situations. Clients work on identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing small changes between sessions.
Natalie aims to collaborate with each person to choose the approaches that fit their goals. She also brings attention to attachment issues, abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and dissociation when these are relevant. The work can include short-term skills building or longer-term processing depending on the person’s needs.
People who come to her can expect straightforward feedback and practical exercises to try in daily life. To get started, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session that sets clear goals for therapy.
How sessions work
How Natalie’s approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In practice this means learning simple tools to test negative thinking and try different behaviors that reduce anxiety or lift mood. It is useful for worries, low mood, and repetitive thought patterns.DBT teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. Sessions often include skills practice, role-play, and step-by-step plans for handling moments of crisis or high emotion. This approach helps people who react strongly to stress or struggle with intense relationships.
Natalie treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, combining skills training, mindfulness, and body-focused techniques when helpful. That discussion happens early and is revisited as needs change.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, or allow sessions without traveling to an office. Licensed professionals, including Natalie, use these tools to keep therapy practical and relevant to everyday life.
