Natalie Norrell, LCPC

Natalie Norrell is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who uses practical, hands-on work to help people move forward. She centers her approach on talk-based methods alongside bodily and expressive practices to address stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with somatic and trauma-focused techniques. That combination helps people notice how thoughts, body sensations, and past events shape everyday reactions. Sessions often focus on small, doable changes in thinking and behavior that lead to measurable relief.

Natalie offers ways to explore feelings beyond words. Artmaking and equine-assisted activities are part of her practice where appropriate, letting people find new perspectives through creativity, nature, movement, and interaction with horses. These methods are used together with talk therapy to strengthen coping and build confidence.

She frames therapy as a collaborative effort. Natalie listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and suggests clear strategies to test in daily life. She uses skill-building, grounding practices, and practical tools so people can try new responses between sessions.

With over a decade of experience, Natalie brings steady guidance to difficult moments like grief, divorce, or recovery from abuse. She offers straightforward support for mood disorders and post-traumatic stress, helping people identify realistic next steps and restore a sense of agency.

How CBT and Somatic Approaches Work Online

CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online CBT sessions usually involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and assigning short exercises to try between appointments. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns.

Somatic Therapy pays attention to body sensations and movement as part of healing. In remote work this can mean guided breathing, simple movement prompts, and noticing physical signals during a session to reduce tension and improve grounding after stressful moments. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on processing and reducing the impact of traumatic memories through gradual, paced techniques tailored to each person's needs.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will collaborate to decide which methods fit the client's goals, preferences, and comfort level. That may mean combining CBT skills with somatic practices or focusing on trauma-specific strategies as needs evolve.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility. Video allows face-to-face interaction for exercises and demonstrations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging provides brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work when travel or scheduling would otherwise be a barrier.
