About Natalie

Natalie Summit is a licensed professional counselor with nearly three decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on long experience in community mental health and an extensive career supporting law enforcement personnel, which shaped her approach to crisis intervention and working through complex, painful issues. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, relationship and family difficulties, substance-related problems, sexual assault and domestic violence, and compassion fatigue.

Her style blends compassionate listening with practical, evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered methods. Natalie emphasizes respect, trust, and collaborative problem solving, helping clients identify values-driven goals and develop concrete coping skills.

Licensed as an LPC and LCMHC, she provides telehealth sessions from Arizona and brings a calm, solution-focused presence to challenging conversations. Clients who seek her out often want someone who listens deeply, offers culturally aware perspectives, and uses creative interventions to promote resilience and change.

She welcomes questions from people interested in exploring therapy and supports a thoughtful process for determining what will help each person move forward.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most and take committed action toward those values, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete behavioral and coping strategies to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, making it valuable for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Natalie works with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts techniques over time as needs evolve. This teamwork helps identify which tools resonate and which require modification.

Online therapy provides flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in care from home or other convenient locations. These formats can make scheduling easier, support consistent follow-through on treatment, and enable timely check-ins between sessions, all while letting clients choose the pace and style of communication that suits them best.
