Natalie Wakeley, LPC

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and grief. She supports clients working through relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, career transitions, and the frustration that comes with life changes. She also addresses issues like self-esteem, anger, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness challenges.

She approaches therapy as a team effort. Natalie blends several methods to fit each person’s needs instead of using one fixed model. Sessions focus on finding the roots of distress, building practical skills, and trying changes that feel doable in daily life. Progress is checked and adjusted as needed.

Natalie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, solution-focused methods, and somatic techniques. These approaches guide work on symptoms and on the patterns that maintain them. She emphasizes learning tools clients can use between sessions to manage mood and stress.

Her background includes six years of clinical experience supporting people with trauma, mood disorders, and relational struggles. She frames work around strengths and concrete steps rather than long lists of theories. Natalie aims to help people make clearer decisions and reduce the distress that interrupts their lives.

If you are dealing with midlife shifts, parenting stress, questions around attachment or the aftermath of trauma, she helps people name the problem and try targeted changes. To begin, follow the platform Start Therapy process to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Natalie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which helps with anxiety, depression, and decision making. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress-tolerance skills, and clearer communication to reduce reactivity and improve relationships. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices that calm the body and reduce rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Natalie will work together with clients to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. That fit is revisited over time so techniques stay useful and realistic for each person.

Confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to maintain regular work on goals. It can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue therapy while managing work, family, or health demands. Licensed professionals help clients adapt exercises and homework for use between sessions so progress carries into everyday routines.
