About Natalie

Natalie Kramer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem struggles, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings nine years of clinical experience to her practice and has worked across community mental health and criminal justice settings, helping clients navigate complex circumstances with practical tools and steady support. Her therapeutic stance is warm, interactive, and rooted in respect and empathy.

Natalie blends evidence-based strategies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person’s needs. She emphasizes collaborative dialogue, skill-building, and self-awareness so clients can move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Natalie also incorporates values-based perspectives when requested, and frames challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles to remain stuck. Her goal is to equip clients with insight and techniques that fit their life and goals, guiding them through courageous steps toward healthier patterns and improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Natalie frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT emphasizes practical strategies and homework-style exercises that translate well to online formats. She also applies dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so treatment aligns with changing needs. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning their care and in learning skills that matter most to them.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life changes. These formats support regular skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and timely support while allowing licensed professionals to use CBT and DBT tools effectively across distance.
