About Natalie
Natalie McQuinn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, anger, and related concerns. Natalie acknowledges that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and she encourages clients who are ready to begin work on difficult problems.
She approaches therapy from a practical standpoint. Natalie treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills that can be used between appointments to manage emotions and reactions.
Natalie uses a mix of approaches to match what a client needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take actionable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thinking patterns that feed stress and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, practice new coping strategies, and review what helps in daily life. Natalie works with a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, grief, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD challenges.
She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric matters, substance use concerns, gender dysphoria, and multicultural questions. Sessions are held in English and Natalie does not take international clients.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that fit those values. It can be useful for anger that comes from feeling stuck or conflicted. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that keep stress and anger going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and tolerating distress without reacting in ways you later regret.Working out which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, life circumstances, and preferences. That plan can shift as needs change and as you try different strategies together.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making sessions accessible when leaving home is difficult. Therapists and licensed professionals use these approaches to focus on practical skills and problem solving that transfer into everyday life.
