About Natalie
Natalie Norrell is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) with 12 years of experience based in Montana. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and major life changes. Natalie also focuses on issues related to divorce and separation, domestic violence, veteran and armed forces concerns, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and women’s issues.
Natalie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a central tool. She combines talk therapy with art-based activities and equine-assisted experiences when appropriate. These methods give people other ways to express difficult feelings beyond words. Sessions often include practical exercises to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
She describes cognitive approaches as useful for addressing current problems and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. Art and working with horses are offered as complementary ways to explore beliefs, emotions, and bodily responses. Together these approaches aim to help people recognize patterns and experiment with new coping skills.
Natalie emphasizes a straightforward, skills-focused process. She helps clients look at what’s keeping them stuck and practice alternatives in session. The work is intended to produce clearer thinking about choices and next steps.

How CBT, somatic work and trauma-focused methods fit into online sessions
CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing concrete alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns and emphasizes short-term exercises and real-life practice.Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily responses and movement as part of emotional processing. It helps people recognize how stress shows up in the body and learn simple grounding or movement strategies to reduce intense reactions.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on stabilizing symptoms and processing traumatic memories in manageable steps. This approach aims to reduce the power of traumatic memories while teaching skills for coping with triggers.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together whether cognitive exercises, body-based work, or trauma-focused steps are most useful.
