About Natalie
Natalie Kramer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with nine years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and career or anger problems.
Natalie uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing different responses, and building concrete skills for daily life.
Her background includes community mental health work and time in criminal justice settings with current and former offenders. She completed her degree at the University of Southern Indiana in 2016 and has experience as a counselor and life coach. She also has experience leading groups and working with a range of relationship situations.
Natalie describes her style as interactive and values-based. She brings goal-focused conversation, practical tools, and techniques aimed at increasing self-awareness. She also offers Christian counseling perspectives for clients who want that viewpoint.
Sessions aim to give specific strategies you can use between meetings. Conversations cover thought patterns, behavioral experiments, emotion regulation skills, and motivational steps toward change. People who prefer a structured, skills-based approach often find this practical focus helpful.
How CBT and related methods are used in online sessions
People can expect clear, skills-based work using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. CBT breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and focuses on testing and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce distress. DBT adds practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for strong emotions and relationship patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to identify and describe emotions more clearly and to improve communication in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Natalie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit the problem, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT worksheets and behavioral experiments, then adding DBT or EFT tools as needed.
