Natalie Wakeley, LPC

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who focuses on relationship and emotional concerns. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or coping with major life changes. She also supports those dealing with mood challenges such as depression or bipolar symptoms and people facing intimacy or parenting questions.

Natalie uses a combined mind-body view in her work. She pays attention to how physical sensations and emotions connect. Sessions aim to find the root of distress and build steps that ease symptoms over time.

Her approach is collaborative and tailored. Natalie works with each person to choose techniques that fit their life and goals. She draws on methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused work, and somatic practices to shape a plan together.

In the room she focuses on practical skills and clear goals. That can mean learning tools to manage intense feelings, practicing new communication habits, or trying simple body-based exercises to reduce tension. The pace and interventions are decided with the client at each stage.

After six years of clinical work, Natalie centers compassion and steady progress. She aims to help clients build reliable coping skills, clarify values, and move toward changes that feel useful in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical steps to shift thinking patterns and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, challenges, and what feels useful. Together they try methods and adjust them until the client finds a good fit for their needs and preferences.

Please confirm the current session formats when booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, which can help transfer new habits into daily life.
