Natalie Wakeley, LPC

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and mood concerns like bipolar disorder. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, grief, parenting strain, chronic illness or pain, and career or life transitions. Her style is practical and collaborative. Sessions aim to find root causes and make steady changes that reduce distress.

Natalie approaches therapy as a conversation between body and mind. She blends talk-based techniques with attention to physical sensations and coping skills. Clients can expect clear tools to use between sessions and a focus on what works in daily life. The goal is to build on strengths and make coping feel more manageable.

Her methods include cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, solution-focused steps, and somatic work. These are mixed to suit each person rather than applied as a fixed recipe. Natalie helps people try techniques and then adjust based on what helps most.

With six years of counseling experience, she brings practical experience rather than promises. Her background includes work with trauma-related issues, mood disorders, and stress from caregiving or chronic health problems. Sessions are aimed at gradual progress and clearer self-understanding.

Natalie practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. People who want to begin can use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape remote care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It gives clear skills to practice between sessions so people can notice real change. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better interpersonal skills. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained. Mindfulness therapy encourages focused attention on the present moment and gentle awareness of thoughts and sensations to reduce worry and rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may shift methods over time as what helps becomes clearer.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, since appointments can be scheduled without travel and can shorten time away from work or family. It also lets people practice skills where they live and notice how strategies play out in daily routines. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions so tools remain practical and usable between meetings.
