Natalie Wakeley, LPC

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She draws on six years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Natalie aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can find relief and move forward.

Natalie works with each person to uncover what lies behind their symptoms. Sessions focus on clear goals and hands-on strategies rather than long lectures. She blends talk and practical exercises so clients leave with tools to use between appointments.

Her work often addresses mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression, as well as trauma and attachment-related concerns. She also helps with parenting strain, grief, career stress, intimacy issues, and burnout-related compassion fatigue. Natalie pays attention to how the body and mind interact when symptoms show up.

Therapeutic methods include cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior approaches, mindfulness techniques, solution-focused steps, and somatic work. Natalie mixes these methods to match each person’s needs and goals instead of following a fixed routine.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She helps people recognize strengths, test small changes, and build routines that support better coping. Sessions aim to be respectful, goal-oriented, and focused on practical progress.

How therapeutic approaches work online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT offers structured ways to notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression. DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication, which can be practiced in real life and discussed during sessions. Mindfulness therapy trains attention and awareness to reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie uses a collaborative process to match methods to each person's goals, needs, and preferences. She will suggest practical tools, check in on how they feel, and adjust the plan together so the approach fits the client's life and priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, manage energy levels, and use different ways of connecting with a licensed professional.
