About Natalie
Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar mood concerns, anger, relationship and family tensions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
Natalie uses practical, body-aware methods and talks through what is happening in the moment. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused strategies, and somatic approaches. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, learning skills to manage intense feelings, and testing small changes between meetings.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Natalie helps people notice how thoughts, body sensations, and actions interact. Then she works with them to build habits that reduce reactivity and increase control over how they respond to triggers.
She also addresses specific backgrounds such as abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, attachment issues, blended family concerns, caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and body image or codependency struggles. Natalie helps people untangle communication and control issues that often worsen anger and resentment.
Sessions aim to produce practical steps people can use right away. Clients learn emotion regulation skills, grounding techniques, and concrete plans for stressful situations. Natalie encourages tracking progress and adjusting strategies as needed.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Natalie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills so people have tools for intense moments and relationship strain.She also brings mindfulness into sessions to help people notice body sensations and downward spirals without judgment. Mindfulness practice can make it easier to spot the first signs of anger and choose a different response. These approaches are practical and skills-focused, which adapts well to remote conversation and guided exercises.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Natalie will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts techniques based on what helps in everyday life.
