About Natalie
Natalie Jones is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 18 years of experience. She shifted into social work after a career in business and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. Natalie focuses on building honest, trust-based relationships and meets people where they are.
She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused while still allowing space for difficult feelings.
Natalie has long experience supporting people who carry childhood trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and related concerns. She has worked in home-based settings and has spent many years helping adults and caregivers manage ongoing stress and role strain. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress.
She emphasizes listening first and being nonjudgmental. Natalie says she can be direct when needed, but always aims to be gentle and kind. Many people come to therapy unsure what to expect, and she focuses on setting realistic goals together.
Her approach can include guided imagery, solution-focused ideas, and parts of the Cycle of Change model tailored to the individual. Therapy often involves identifying small, achievable steps and building skills to handle life changes, relationships, or work-related strain.

How Natalie’s approaches can be used online
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping a person find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to increase motivation for new behaviors and can help with addictions, procrastination, and making life changes.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, empathy, and respect. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offers acceptance, and supports self-directed growth, which helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with difficult emotions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Natalie will talk with each person about goals, needs, and what feels most helpful. She combines methods when that makes sense and adjusts plans as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone focus on skills practice between meetings and keep work on goals steady despite life changes. -
