01About Natalie
Natalie Wingard is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and depression. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier. Natalie aims to help people get through hard days and build more days they can look forward to.
Natalie describes his role as a companion on the journey rather than the person directing it. He uses a client-centered approach that respects the client's goals and choices.
Background and approach
That means the person in therapy decides the direction and pace, while Natalie offers options, feedback, and honest challenge when it fits. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. That approach is often used for anxiety, mood problems, panic, and patterns that keep repeating.
Sessions typically include talking through situations, testing new ways of thinking, and trying small behavior changes. Natalie brings six years of clinical experience working with people affected by a range of issues including compulsive behaviors, substance and sexual addictions, and trauma-related problems. He also supports people dealing with chronic pain or illness, intense guilt or shame, and difficulties with attachment or impulsivity.
Originally motivated by personal losses from suicide and addiction, he aims to teach coping skills and help people build supports they may not have had. Natalie practices in Texas and provides services in English.

How Natalie Uses Talk and Thought Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room as the expert in their life. In practice this means the client sets goals and priorities while the therapist listens, reflects, offers choices, and gently challenges unhelpful patterns. This approach helps when people feel stuck, unsure of what they want, or need someone to witness difficult emotions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. Sessions often identify unhelpful thoughts, test new ways of thinking, and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. CBT is commonly used for panic, worry, low mood, and repeated behavioral patterns like compulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT techniques, or a mix fits best. Together they consider the client's goals, day-to-day needs, and what feels doable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed or a quick check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging work well for short updates or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
