About Nathalie
Nathalie Contro is a California LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with three years of experience listed in her profile. She works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, substance use concerns, trauma and anger. Nathalie offers services in English and Spanish and frames her work around practical skills and clearer communication.
Her background includes a mix of psychotherapeutic approaches. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past connections affect current relationships. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Jungian ideas such as attention to dreams and imagination appear in her toolkit.
In sessions she focuses on building tools people can use day to day. That can mean practicing new ways to express needs, learning strategies to manage strong reactions, or developing routines to sleep and eat better. She also addresses substance use, grief, and the strain that caregiving or chronic health issues can cause.
Nathalie describes therapy as collaborative. She helps clients notice patterns, test small changes, and reflect on what works. Exercises might include skill practice, exploration of personal stories, breathwork, or guided imagination to increase insight.
People seeking help for anger, intimacy problems, or life transitions will find a therapist who blends concrete strategies with relational work. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and ask any practical questions about how she conducts appointments.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape behavior and emotional responses. Online sessions can use conversation and reflection to map those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. In remote sessions this often means setting short, practical between-session tasks and reviewing how they went. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve. The practical benefits of online work depend on the formats the therapist offers, which are not listed in the profile. Before booking, confirm available session types. Online options can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people participate without being on camera if they prefer audio only. These practical choices help people keep therapy consistent while managing everyday responsibilities.Areas of expertise
