Natalie Wakeley

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship or parenting challenges. Natalie aims to make therapy practical and personal so clients can find relief and clearer direction.

Natalie takes a body-and-mind view, and she looks for patterns that connect physical experience with difficult feelings. Sessions are tailored to each person, with an emphasis on finding the root causes of symptoms rather than just treating surface problems. She helps people work toward better coping, clearer communication, and steadier mood regulation.

Her practice draws on several evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and somatic methods. Natalie blends these tools in a collaborative way to match the client’s needs and goals. That mix supports work on issues like grief, intimacy struggles, caregiver stress, codependency, and career concerns.

With six years of clinical experience, she offers straightforward guidance and practical skills to use between sessions. The aim is to help people recognize strengths, reduce unhelpful patterns, and try concrete steps toward change. Natalie also supports people dealing with complex trauma, dissociation, attachment wounds, and mood disorders through paced, individualized work.

People who choose Natalie can expect a direct but empathetic approach that balances skill-building with reflection. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Natalie Uses Skills-Based and Somatic Methods Online

Many of her approaches translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication skills, which can help with intense mood swings and relationship patterns. Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily signals and sensations and uses gentle tracking and grounding practices to reduce the physical impact of stress and trauma.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapy process. She collaborates with each person to choose which techniques to try first and adjusts the plan as work progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback so methods match their goals, pace, and comfort level.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins between other responsibilities. Some people prefer shorter sessions when they need a quick skills review, while others use longer meetings for deeper processing. The therapist will discuss which setup suits daily life and therapeutic aims during the initial planning.
