About Natascha
Natascha Allen-Halvorson is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 17 years of experience. She practices in North Dakota and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression. Her work also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia.
She uses straightforward, problem-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Sessions rely on practical strategies and skills that can be practiced between meetings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to help clients test different ways of thinking and behaving.
In practice she aims to make conversations direct and useful. She helps clients break concerns into manageable steps and set small goals. Typical work includes identifying distressing thoughts, learning coping skills, and using behavioral experiments to check what changes help.
Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical experience across multiple states, and she has carried that work into her current North Dakota practice. She speaks English and does not take international clients. Fees vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. That start helps clarify priorities and whether her methods fit the client’s goals.
How CBT, DBT, and trauma work in online sessions
Many of her sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT breaks issues into small steps and uses practical exercises to see if new responses reduce distress.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills teach concrete ways to manage intense emotion and handle crises without making things worse. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses memories and reactions tied to past harm, with careful pacing and stabilization techniques.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will work with the client to identify which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made, and sessions often mix techniques from different approaches to match the situation.
Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow a client to focus on skills practice and homework between sessions, making therapeutic work more consistent with daily life.
