About Natalie

Natalie Patton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with 12 years of professional experience.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad clinical background that includes work in community mental health, emergency care, and programs for survivors of domestic violence, and she has supported people facing trauma, depression, anxiety, mood instability, and challenges in relationships. Natalie emphasizes a strengths-based perspective that honors each person’s inherent worth and the courage it takes to seek help.

Her therapeutic stance is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and a non-judgmental attitude. She integrates techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Natalie accepts that some clients arrive with a focused concern while others bring complex histories, and she aims to meet clients where they are to promote manageable growth and change. Natalie also lists ADHD among her areas of focus alongside issues such as stress, grief, addictions, LGBT concerns, parenting, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue.

She invites prospective clients to consider whether her collaborative, empathetic approach aligns with their goals and to take the next step when ready.

How Natalie’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood instability. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and shifting emotional responses to improve connection and regulation in relationships and interpersonal difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns. That collaboration often begins with exploring what the client hopes to change and experimenting with techniques until a workable plan emerges.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in therapy from different locations and on varied schedules. These options support consistent access to a licensed professional while making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to continue work between live meetings through messaging and brief check-ins.
