About Natalie
Natalie Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 18 years of experience in mental health. She has worked across hospitals, residential programs, schools, partial care, and outpatient settings. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, anger, and related concerns.
She favors a person-centered, humanistic way of working. That means conversations begin with the client’s own values and experiences. Natalie helps people clarify what matters to them and set practical goals to change daily patterns that cause distress.
Natalie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She builds a working relationship and then uses evidence-based methods to support progress. Her toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Gottman Method ideas, and client-centered work.
In sessions she helps people increase self-understanding and improve internal communication. That can mean noticing automatic reactions, untangling guilt or shame, or learning healthier ways to respond when anger or frustration arise. She also supports work on attachment, abandonment, codependency, and family of origin issues.
Natalie works with a broad range of life concerns such as parenting strain, career stress, grief, gender dysphoria, immigration issues, and caregiver fatigue. She offers straightforward conversation and tools aimed at clearer thinking and steadier behavior.
To begin she asks people to identify goals and then matches techniques to those goals. Sessions emphasize practical steps you can try between meetings, with attention to values and what matters most in daily life.
How her 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 anger that comes from frustration or feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing concrete alternatives. That approach often helps with anxiety, anger, and mood shifts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, such as grounding and breathing techniques, which can reduce impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns and goals and suggest which methods to try first. Decisions are made collaboratively, and techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps you most.
Confirm the current session options before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems happen, like at work or at home. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT exercises for online meetings so you can learn and rehearse new responses to anger and stress without changing the core methods.
