About Natalie

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression, and issues around relationships, intimacy, parenting, grief, and career change. Her stated approach blends several methods to address symptoms and day-to-day functioning.

Natalie describes therapy as working on mind-body connections. She aims to identify the root of symptoms and to help clients make practical changes that reduce distress. Sessions focus on skill building, emotion regulation, and strategies for coping with life transitions.

Her work incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and somatic methods. She uses an integrative and collaborative process to decide which strategies fit a person’s goals and circumstances.

Natalie mentions helping people with attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, body image and codependency. She also lists areas such as chronic pain and illness, dissociation, communication and commitment problems, and disruptive mood dysregulation issues.

The practice emphasizes practical tools and recognitions of individual strengths. Clients learn techniques to manage difficult emotions, improve communication, and work toward clearer decision making. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It helps people manage intense emotions and improve communication skills. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and body sensations. It supports stress reduction and grounding during overwhelming moments.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together you will try methods and adjust the plan based on what works in regular sessions.

Confirm session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. It also makes it simpler to practice skills in the environments where problems occur. Ask about session length and technical details when scheduling so arrangements match daily routines and needs.
