About Natalie

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, and mood disorders. She approaches therapy in a practical, down-to-earth way so parents and caregivers can use skills between sessions. Natalie aims to make therapy feel useful from the start.

She emphasizes the connection between body and mind and tailors each plan to the individual. Sessions focus on finding root causes of symptoms and learning real skills that reduce distress.

Background and approach

Natalie blends different methods to match what feels most helpful for the person in front of her. Her work covers a range of concerns including grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, attachment or abandonment wounds, codependency, and chronic illness or pain.

Parents seeking guidance around family or parenting stress can address practical strategies in therapy. Natalie uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, solution-focused work, and somatic methods. She and the client decide together which tools to try first.

The focus is on small, achievable changes that build confidence and reduce overwhelm. With six years of clinical experience, Natalie brings a collaborative style and a focus on real-world results. Sessions are offered in English and are scheduled to fit each person’s life.

New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to begin.

Approaches that fit your life online

Natalie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts so people can try concrete changes and see what works for mood, anxiety, and daily stress.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT strategies teach step-by-step skills to handle intense feelings and improve relationships. Mindfulness therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and calm, which supports recovery from anxiety and trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Natalie will work with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels effective. The emphasis is on collaboration and practical results rather than one fixed method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat helps maintain momentum between meetings. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use the approaches above in ways that suit daily life.
