Natalie Wakeley, LPC

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship or parenting strain. She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape mood and behavior. Her approach aims to bring relief and clearer thinking so people can handle daily life with more ease.

Natalie views the body and mind as connected, so she pays attention to physical responses as well as thoughts. She works with clients to uncover the root of symptoms and then tests small changes that can reduce distress. Sessions emphasize practical skills and steps people can use between meetings.

Her work draws from cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, dialectical behavior approaches, solution-focused strategies, and somatic methods. Natalie combines these tools to match what a person needs rather than using a single method for everyone. She supports people in recognizing strengths and building routines that improve mood and coping.

With six years of experience, Natalie frames therapy as collaborative problem solving. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, practice new responses, and track what changes help. This plain, goal-focused style suits people who want concrete skills alongside emotional support.

Natalie practices in Georgia and holds an LPC credential. She offers counseling that pays attention to both thoughts and everyday habits, helping people move from simply surviving to feeling more capable and balanced.

Approaches that guide online work

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new, more balanced ways of thinking. It often includes small experiments and homework to change everyday habits that keep problems going.

DBT teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without making things worse. It mixes skill practice with real-life application so people can use the tools between sessions.

Mindfulness-based work helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. This can reduce reactivity and improve focus when worries or strong feelings arise.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll try methods that match current needs and adjust the plan over time in a collaborative way.

Confirm session formats before booking since the therapist’s biography does not specify them here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing meetings during a lunch break or between obligations. They also let people build practice into daily routines and maintain momentum with shorter check-ins when needed.
