About Natalie
Natalie Patton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky with a 12-year history in mental health care. She welcomes a calm, respectful way of working and aims to make therapy feel manageable for people under stress. Her approach is straightforward and patient-focused to help people move through tough moments.
She has experience across community mental health, emergency room settings, and programs serving people affected by domestic violence.
Background and approach
That background gives her practical insight into grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, mood instability, and compassion fatigue. Natalie draws on this range when listening to what matters most to each person. In sessions she prioritizes empathy, curiosity, and a nonjudgmental stance.
She uses a strengths-based outlook and helps clients notice their existing strengths while building new skills. Her style is collaborative, letting the client's needs shape the work together. Natalie uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work.
These tools are applied in simple, concrete ways - for example, practicing new coping skills, working on values-based choices, or improving how someone manages strong emotions. Many people come with one clear problem and others bring more to unpack. Natalie aims to move at each person’s pace and help them build practical steps.
She encourages parents and others facing family or parenting stress to explore options that fit their daily life.

Therapeutic methods you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to change them; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and mood swings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding strong emotions and improving emotional connections in relationships and can help people manage grief or recurrent interpersonal problems.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and try different techniques to see what fits. This collaborative process means the plan can change over time as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits, phone sessions can be easier when movement is needed or video is difficult, and chat or text options support quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to schedule appointments, maintain progress between sessions, and use tools that fit each person's routine.
