About Natalie
Natalie Patton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky. She brings 12 years of professional experience helping people cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life changes. Her approach is calm and straightforward, and she aims to meet each person where they are.
Natalie has worked in community mental health, emergency room settings, and programs for people affected by domestic violence. Those roles shaped how she listens and responds when someone is in crisis or feeling overwhelmed.
Background and approach
She uses practical tools and real conversation rather than jargon. In sessions she draws on somatic ideas alongside talk-based methods. That means noticing how stress shows up in the body and using breath, movement, or grounding to ease intense moments.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people clarify values and change unhelpful thought patterns. Natalie emphasizes respect, empathy, and curiosity in the room. She takes a strengths-based stance and focuses on what the person already carries that can aid recovery.
The pace and goals are set together so the work fits each person’s needs. People come for many reasons including relationship strain, parenting stress, ADHD, addiction concerns, bipolar mood symptoms, anger, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related issues. Natalie aims to create a steady space for people facing those challenges and to help them build practical skills for daily life.
How somatic and evidence-based approaches work online
Somatic-informed work pays attention to how stress and emotion show up in the body. Online sessions can include guided breathing, grounding, and gentle movement prompts to help people notice and ease physical tension. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. A therapist will collaborate with the person to identify what feels most helpful and try different strategies as needed. That partnership helps shape goals and the pace of therapy so it fits each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to continue work between meetings. Many people find the combination of regular live contact and on-demand messaging supports steady progress while keeping care accessible.
