About Natasha
Natasha Deshommes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing family strain, parenting challenges, grief, anxiety, and depression. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and brings eight years of clinical experience to conversational, goal-focused work. Natasha aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and respectful.
Her sessions focus on listening first and then building a plan that fits each person's life.
Background and approach
She favors clear, practical tools to reduce stress and manage strong emotions. Conversations often include looking at thought patterns, building coping skills, and trying small behavior changes that add up over time. Natasha uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in what matters to the client.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation when feelings run high. Motivational interviewing and narrative methods appear when people want help deciding next steps or reframing difficult life stories.
Her experience includes helping with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, body image, codependency, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with career changes, first responder stress, hospice and end-of-life matters, immigration-related challenges, and common relationship problems.
Natasha works with people across Rhode Island, and her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She tailors the pace and tools to what each person needs, aiming for steady progress and practical relief.

Approaches for parenting and family stress online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building treatment around the client's own goals. It emphasizes understanding a person's experience and adjusting the pace and tone to what feels most helpful for them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors; this can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which is useful when relationships or parenting challenges create ongoing tension.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try first based on goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Plans are adjusted over time so techniques that don't fit are replaced with ones that do.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit real life. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be good for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
