Natalie Cheetham, LCSW

Natalie Cheetham, LCSW, brings a thoughtful, grief-centered approach to therapy informed by a master’s degree and a clinical license in social work. She specializes in mindfulness grief therapy and grief mental health, guiding clients through both recent losses and longstanding sorrow with steady compassion. Natalie views grief as an authentic space for learning and healing, and she centers that belief in her work with people navigating bereavement, health changes, pet loss, and significant life transitions.

Her warm, supportive manner creates room to name and explore whatever emotions arise, whether someone is coping with new or chronic health conditions or adjusting to major life changes. By combining mindfulness practices with grief-focused clinical methods, she helps clients cultivate presence, tolerate difficult feelings, and find practical ways to move forward. Natalie’s practice emphasizes empathy and respect for each person’s unique experience of loss, offering a steady therapeutic partnership through the complexities of grieving and life adjustment.

Therapeutic approaches for online grief and life changes

Natalie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical approach that helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that make grief or life changes harder to manage by teaching concrete skills for coping and problem solving.

She also employs Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on strengths, resources, and small steps toward change. This short-term, goal-oriented method can help clients clarify what they want to achieve and build actionable strategies to reach those goals, especially during transitions or when managing day-to-day challenges.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Natalie works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques accordingly so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to access care from home or while balancing other responsibilities. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while still working toward meaningful change.
