Chiralaine Natschke, LCPC

Chiralaine Natschke is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), a credential that denotes professional training to provide clinical counseling. With 18 years of experience in the behavioral healthcare field, she has worked in roles including mental health therapist, child welfare supervisor, school counselor, and crisis screener and therapist.

She has experience supporting adults, adolescents, children, and families facing adjustment challenges, depression, mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, dual diagnosis, and chronic mental illness. Her practice includes a range of evidence-based methods; she is trained in approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Experiential Therapy, and stress management and mindfulness techniques.

Chiralaine uses a goal-directed model of care, beginning with a thorough assessment to establish clear, measurable goals and then planning treatment steps to make progress efficiently. Her style is collaborative and supportive, and she works with clients to agree on a frequency and format that meet their needs. She emphasizes active engagement in the process and makes realistic statements about outcomes - she will work to help clients reach their goals but does not guarantee specific results.

Chiralaine approaches each case with practical focus and empathy, aiming to help clients navigate life changes, improve coping, and move toward the priorities they identify for themselves.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and commit to actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT is often used for anxiety, stress, and people navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds to improve connection, communication, and emotional regulation - it can be helpful for attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, and family conflicts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to develop practical strategies for mood disorders, anxiety, and coping with daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chiralaine works collaboratively with clients to identify which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and priorities evolve.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, access care from home or work, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals who adapt their methods to the online setting.
