Nathalie Contro, LMFT

Nathalie Contro is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California. She uses a collaborative style to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and relationship struggles. Sessions are practical and focused on building concrete skills for day-to-day life.

Nathalie brings three years of clinical experience as an LMFT and draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet each person where they are. She works with concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and caregiving strain. She also helps with intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, and career changes.

Her work blends cognitive behavioral ideas with attachment-focused and client-centered ways of relating. She also uses elements from dialectical behavior therapy and Jungian ideas when helpful. In practice this means sessions often include learning new coping skills, noticing patterns in relationships, and making choices that match personal values.

People can expect a warm, nonjudgmental tone in sessions. Nathalie aims to help clients develop insight, practical tools, and a clearer sense of direction. She offers services in English and Spanish to meet language needs.

Therapy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The program uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and matches begin by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling with the therapist.

How Nathalie blends approaches for online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in closeness and trust so they can build more secure connections and handle conflict with less reactivity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people learn new coping skills, challenge unhelpful thinking, and develop behaviors that support mood and functioning in daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's pace to help them clarify goals and make choices that match their values.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Nathalie will collaborate with each person to test what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts tools and techniques over time so the plan reflects what’s helpful in practice.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, ongoing coaching, and times when writing feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping a steady course of support.
