Natalie Cheetham, LCSW

Natalie Cheetham is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on grief and related life changes. She brings 15 years of practice to sessions and aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by loss, stress, or shifts in life roles.

Natalie works from practical methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down worries and mood patterns into small steps that feel doable. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people identify next steps and build on what already works in their lives.

Her interest in grief includes both recent losses and long-standing sorrow. She also supports people managing changes tied to health, aging, or the end of important chapters. Natalie pays attention to loneliness, low self-esteem, and the emotional sides of mood disorders and life transitions.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Natalie helps people name feelings, test small changes, and track what shifts over time. She leans toward concrete strategies that can be tried between sessions and reviewed the next week.

Licensed in California as an LCSW, she has a master’s degree in social work and years of clinical experience. Conversations are offered in English and tailored to each person’s goals and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies based on what the person finds helpful.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier for busy days. Video is useful when face-to-face conversation helps, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports quick check-ins or building momentum between calls. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping the focus on practical, step-by-step progress.
