Nathalie Carrera, LMHC

Nathalie Carrera is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She supports people facing anxiety, stress, depression, anger, and challenges tied to parenting, family conflict, and trauma. Nathalie offers help in both English and Spanish and aims to make the first step toward care feel less overwhelming.

Her style is open and warm. She focuses on listening first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions are meant to be a place to talk through hard feelings and practice new ways of responding to daily struggles.

Nathalie uses several practical methods to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based ideas explore how early relationships shape current reactions. Client-centered work keeps the client’s perspective central while building trust and understanding.

She also draws on techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address deep relational hurts. Those tools are used in straightforward ways so clients can apply them between sessions.

Nathalie pays attention to background factors like adoption and foster care, immigration, caregiving stress, and multicultural concerns. She helps people handle life transitions, resolve communication problems, and rebuild self-esteem after losses or conflict.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration. Nathalie and the person she’s working with decide together what fits best, then practice new skills and track progress in simple, manageable steps.

How Nathalie’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood and then practicing new responses. It’s useful for stress, worry, and depression because it gives concrete steps to change daily habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current ways of relating and reacting; it helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment concerns, or patterns that repeat across relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nathalie treats the selection as a team effort and will help assess which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts tools so sessions stay practical and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy offers several flexible formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or hands-free conversations, live chat for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, practice skills in the moment, and maintain continuity when travel or work disrupts routine.
