About Natalie

Natalie Rzeznik is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical support.

Background and approach

Her work aims to reduce stress, anxiety, and the overwhelm that often comes with relationship or life disruption. Natalie uses straightforward conversation to understand each person’s needs.

She adapts sessions so people can talk through addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, or issues with intimacy. She also helps people who struggle with eating, anger, attention differences, or chronic illness-related stress.

Her approach blends several evidence-based methods to match the person in front of her. That can mean using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to find values-based action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking, or Attachment-Based ideas to improve emotional connection.

The Gottman Method is also part of her approach when relationship patterns are a focus. Natalie draws on four years of formal counseling experience and many more years working with neurodivergent people outside traditional counseling roles.

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session. Plans are tailored together, so people leave with clear, doable next steps.

She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules. Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment that fits the person’s calendar.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking actions that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often providing concrete skills to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. The Gottman Method is used when relationship patterns are relevant, offering practical tools to improve communication and manage recurring conflicts.

Natalie approaches finding the right method as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then shape sessions around what seems most useful. That collaborative planning means approaches can shift over time if a different focus would help more.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people meet face-to-face when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for audio-only check-ins. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, journaling-style work, or when messaging fits better into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
