About Natalie
Natalie Eden is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and life changes. She sees individuals struggling with addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD.
Background and approach
Natalie uses straightforward, practical strategies so people can make clearer decisions and feel steadier day to day. Natalie draws on 13 years of clinical experience.
She holds two advanced degrees, including a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Her credentials include LCPC and LPC, and she is licensed in Illinois and Pennsylvania.
Her earlier work included individual and group therapy at an outpatient behavioral health clinic in downtown Chicago. For a decade she has also run a independent practice where she meets people facing trauma, grief, mood concerns, and addiction challenges.
That breadth of settings shaped her practical approach to common life problems. Therapy sessions focus on strengthening a person’s decision making, insight, and everyday problem solving.
Natalie uses methods such as Client-Centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking patterns, choices, and behaviors. She also uses aspects of the Gottman Method when relationship communication is part of the concern.
She blends evidence-based tools with conversations about values and meaning, borrowing from Existential Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when appropriate. Outside of work Natalie enjoys travel, writing, genealogy, and art, and she draws on life experience to relate to clients in honest, plain language.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a strong working relationship. It helps people feel understood and supports self-directed change through reflective conversation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and everyday coping skills because it breaks issues into concrete steps.
The Gottman Method offers tools for clearer communication and understanding in relationships, which can be taught and practiced during video sessions and supported with short exercises between meetings.
Natalie treats finding the right approach as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about goals, try techniques that fit their situation, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which mix of approaches feels best.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video suits in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing one another. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to keep momentum between appointments or to fit support into a tight schedule. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical progress.
