Natalee Russell, LPC

Natalee Russell approaches counseling with a clear commitment to helping people find the healing they seek. She focuses on creating an environment aimed at delivering thoughtful, evidence-informed care to support meaningful progress and improved well-being.

Her academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Louisiana Tech University and a Master of Science in Counseling from Louisiana State University of Shreveport. These degrees provided a foundation in human behavior, development, and therapeutic techniques that inform her practice.

Natalee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) - a credential that signifies completion of graduate-level counseling training and state licensure to provide professional counseling services. She is also a National Certified Counselor through the National Board for Certified Counselors, a voluntary credential that reflects adherence to national standards in counseling.

In addition to her licensure and certification, Natalee has received training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an approach used to help people process distressing memories and reduce the emotional intensity associated with them. She integrates these qualifications and training to help clients address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, eating and body image issues, self-esteem, and mood-related challenges.

EMDR and Evidence-Based Support Delivered Online

Natalee Russell offers online therapy informed by evidence-based techniques tailored to address anxiety, mood concerns, relationship struggles, and body image or eating-related issues. She brings training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapy that helps people process distressing memories and reduce the emotional intensity those memories can carry. EMDR is often used when past events continue to affect current functioning and wellbeing.

Alongside EMDR, Natalee applies a range of other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with symptoms of stress, panic, social anxiety, low self-esteem, and problems with communication and attachment. These approaches focus on identifying patterns, building coping skills, and strengthening relationships to support sustainable change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Natalee works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan over time so therapy fits the client’s needs. Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging add practical flexibility - they make it easier to access consistent care, fit appointments into varied schedules, and maintain continuity when in-person visits are not convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide effective, accessible support for many common concerns.
