About Natasha
Natasha Deshommes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues like family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, motivation, and stress. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole and are based in Rhode Island.
Natasha uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Client-Centered Therapy shapes conversations so clients lead what matters most to them.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help manage intense emotions and Motivational Interviewing to support change when readiness feels mixed. Narrative Therapy can help people reframe painful stories about themselves or their family history.
Natasha has worked across settings helping those coping with caregiving strain, adoption and foster care challenges, blended family issues, immigration-related stress, grief and end-of-life concerns. She helps with communication problems, commitment issues, codependency, body image and eating-related concerns as well.
Her approach focuses on practical steps: noticing thoughts and behaviors, trying small experiments, and tracking what helps. She asks direct questions, offers clear techniques, and reviews progress. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How CBT, client-centered work and DBT skills translate to online sessions
Natasha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns, test new behaviors, and measure what changes. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can suit issues like anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.Client-Centered Therapy guides the conversation around what matters most to the client. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client’s priorities so goals emerge from the client’s own concerns. This helps when someone needs to clarify values or make choices about relationships or parenting.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or communication keeps causing conflict.
Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. Natasha treats approach selection as collaborative: she and the client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. That way therapy stays focused and practical.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, since the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online format so clients can practice skills between sessions.
