She works with people facing trauma, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She draws on practical approaches to help clients find clearer ways forward.

Natalia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy combined with attachment-based and client-centered ideas. She focuses on how emotions and close bonds shape behavior and choices.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize understanding patterns, naming feelings, and trying new ways of relating. Her background includes seven years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns. She supports people coping with bipolar disorder, sleep problems, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

She also addresses ADHD, codependency, substance use, eating-related issues, and caregiver stress. In sessions Natalia uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when they fit the client’s goals. That can mean learning practical skills for managing strong emotions, shifting unhelpful thoughts, or building better communication habits.

Work is paced to each person’s needs and comfort. People who choose Natalia can expect a collaborative and respectful approach. She aims to help clients identify strengths and make manageable changes.

The first step is a short intake to match goals and schedule ongoing sessions.

Online support

How emotional and attachment work translates to online therapy

Natalia draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognize and work with core feelings that steer relationships and personal choices. EFT encourages naming emotions and changing interaction patterns to reduce distress and improve connection. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current behavior and reactions, helping people understand trust, safety, and closeness in their relationships.

She also brings a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals and experience at the center of sessions. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative - the therapist and client discuss what feels most useful and adjust as work progresses. Goals, comfort with certain exercises, and day-to-day needs guide which tools are used.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for this kind of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share thoughts between sessions, fit therapy into a busy day, or use written reflection as part of emotional work. These formats let licensed professionals tailor sessions to what helps each person make steady progress.
