Natalie Wakeley, LPC

Natalie Wakeley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends a holistic view of mind and body with a tailored therapeutic plan for each person she works with. She approaches care with the belief that emotional and physical experiences are interconnected, and she collaborates with clients to identify the roots of distress so they can make meaningful, lasting changes. LPC indicates that she is licensed to provide professional counseling in Georgia and has developed clinical skills across a range of mental health concerns.

Natalie draws on an integrative, collaborative framework that centers on practical skills and deeper self-understanding. She often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) while integrating other evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and somatic approaches as needed. The aim is to help clients recognize strengths, learn concrete tools, and translate insight into real-life progress.

Her practice focuses on work with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, self-esteem and relationship challenges, as well as family and parenting concerns. Natalie also supports people facing grief, intimacy-related issues, career transitions, caregiver fatigue, and complex attachment or abandonment histories. She emphasizes a personalized path to healing so clients can resolve confusion, reduce symptoms, and move toward greater resilience and clarity.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal communication, and tolerating distress. It is often used to address patterns of emotional instability, self-harm urges, or relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through structured exercises and real-world practice, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance techniques that can reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation, which often complements other modalities.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Natalie collaborates with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made so the treatment remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals - video visits, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access consistent care without travel. These options can make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions, integrate skills into daily life, and balance therapy with work, family, and other responsibilities.
