About Natalie

Natalie Knight is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, addiction, career concerns, and major life changes, including caregiving and end-of-life issues. Natalie also lists support around trauma and abuse, ADHD, depression, and concerns experienced by young adults and LGBT people.

Natalie draws on a person-centered stance in sessions. That means she treats the client as the expert on their life and helps them notice what already feels true inside. She aims to help people identify old habits and beliefs that get in the way, and to practice different ways of responding to feelings and triggers.

Her approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) ideas to spot unhelpful thought patterns and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to look at how emotions link to behavior. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with clients who want to address the root of traumatic memories.

In practical terms sessions are conversational and direct. Natalie listens, reflects what she hears, and offers exercises or gentle challenges when useful. She guides clients through gradual changes rather than pushing for quick fixes.

She has worked with issues connected to aging and geriatric concerns, cancer and hospice caregiving, obsessive-compulsive struggles, forgiveness, control issues, and compassion fatigue. Natalie accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To schedule, users follow the platform matching steps to book a first meeting.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflection. In practice this means the therapist mirrors what the client says, helps them name feelings, and supports them in finding their own answers. This approach is helpful for people sorting through personal values, life changes, and caregiving strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Natalie may use simple CBT tools to spot patterns, test unhelpful thoughts, and try small behavioral experiments. That can help with anxiety, low mood, and compulsive behaviors.

EMDR is a method some people use to process traumatic memories. When appropriate, she may guide clients through structured EMDR procedures to reduce the hold of painful memories and beliefs. EMDR is typically used with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and deeply held fears.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Natalie will collaborate with each client to decide which approaches to try first based on the client's goals, history, and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and techniques as the relationship develops so the plan fits what the client wants.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many adults find remote sessions help sustain regular appointments around work, caregiving, or medical commitments.
