Natasha Deshommes, LPC, LMHC

Natasha Deshommes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, stress, and depression. She works with adults who are navigating family conflict, parenting challenges, career changes, and the lasting effects of trauma and abuse. Natasha communicates in English and Haitian Creole and practices from Rhode Island.

She uses straightforward, practical conversation to understand what feels hard right now. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and shift unhelpful thinking. Client-centered methods guide sessions so people set the pace and focus on what matters to them.

Natasha also brings techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerant skills. Motivational interviewing is available for people facing ambivalence about change. Narrative therapy helps clients reframe difficult stories about themselves and their families.

With eight years of experience, she adapts plans to each person’s situation. Sessions can include short skill practice, problem-solving, and reflective talk. The aim is to leave people with usable tools they can try between meetings.

Her work includes additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, eating and body image struggles, immigration-related stress, and hospice and end-of-life topics. Natasha seeks to offer clear steps and steady support as people work toward change.

How CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify thoughts and habits that get in the way and then try practical steps to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with self-esteem. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's own goals; the therapist offers empathy and reflection so the person feels heard and can choose next steps.

Natasha may also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when strong emotions or intense stress make daily life hard. DBT teaches concrete tools for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. Together these approaches give both short-term tools and a space for deeper reflection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges. That way sessions focus on what the client wants to change and what feels doable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to use video. Text and chat options let people check in, try brief coaching, or keep momentum between longer sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting, and busy days.
