About Natalie
Natalie Summit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 29 years of experience. She provides direct, respectful care for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship trouble, and struggles with identity or self-worth.
Background and approach
She also helps with career concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Natalie speaks plainly and listens closely.
Sessions focus on practical skills and steady emotional support. She combines conversation with exercises that teach new ways to cope.
The goal is to help people feel heard and to build useful tools for everyday life. Her background includes long work in community mental health and two decades serving in a law enforcement agency until 2019.
That work involved crisis response, addiction, domestic violence, sexual crimes, and loss. Those experiences shaped a calm, solution-focused approach and a strong appreciation for resilience.
Natalie uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches in sessions, including the Gottman Method for relationship dynamics, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness practices to keep sessions grounded in each person’s priorities.
Telehealth is available by video, phone, live chat, or messaging. Sessions are offered in English and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Gottman Method work focuses on improving how people talk and connect around difficult topics. It uses structured conversations and exercises to reduce conflict and build better interaction habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clarify what matters most to a person and teaches simple, values-driven steps to move toward those goals despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers hands-on strategies to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.Natalie treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will listen to your goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps you most. That collaboration makes it easier to pick tools that fit your priorities and real-life schedule.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy days or limited travel. Video calls let you work face-to-face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat can support short check-ins, and text messaging can be used for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or other obligations while using the approaches described above.
