About Natalie
Natalie Summit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 29 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, grief, parenting strains, ADHD, and issues related to relationships and self-worth. Natalie writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person who reaches out.
Her clinical background includes long experience in community mental health and two decades working within a law enforcement agency. That work involved crisis intervention and supporting people through very difficult events. Those years shaped a practical, steady approach and a focus on respect, trust, and realistic steps forward.
Natalie uses a mix of methods such as Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered listening. Sessions tend to combine skill teaching, problem solving, and reflective listening so people leave with tools they can use right away.
She has a particular interest in supporting first responders and others who face high-stress work environments. Natalie aims to create a space where people feel heard and can weigh options for change at their own pace.
Natalie offers telehealth counseling from Arizona. She encourages questions and a brief conversation before beginning so goals and expectations are clear. If someone wants a straightforward, experienced clinician who values collaboration, she can be contacted through the site's Start Therapy process.

How Natalie’s methods translate to online therapy
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and resolve mixed feelings about making different choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected; the therapist follows the person's lead and offers empathic listening to help understand next steps.
Natalie treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress or priorities change. That collaborative stance helps people get practical support that matches their situation.
The profile notes telehealth counseling from Arizona, so confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or offering sessions when leaving work is difficult. Natalie aims to use approaches that translate well to remote sessions so people can practice skills and try new ways of coping without rearranging their whole schedule. -
