About Natalie

Natalie Scetinkinova is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, and challenges like ADHD and addiction.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and down-to-earth, and she focuses on practical tools people can use between sessions. She works from curiosity and compassion and aims to meet each person where they are.

Sessions blend conversational, person-centered talk with clear strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Natalie also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues are part of the work.

Natalie combines mental health training with a background in international relations, which gives her a broad perspective on life transitions and cultural differences. She has eight years of clinical experience and practices in Florida as an LMHC.

In sessions she emphasizes skills you can try right away - communication techniques, coping strategies for overwhelming feelings, and steps to rebuild routines like sleep. She also attends to deeper themes such as attachment, family of origin issues, guilt, and life purpose when those come up.

When trauma or intense stress is present, Natalie draws on additional trauma-informed methods alongside existential and narrative approaches to support meaning-making and resilience. Her approach aims to be practical, humane, and tailored to each person’s goals.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Clients can expect a mix of methods tailored to their goals. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication, reducing conflict cycles, and rebuilding connection; it is useful when relationship patterns and interaction habits are a concern. Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and understood, helping people clarify their feelings and values through empathic listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will test methods, adjust techniques, and pick the strategies that fit the situation and pace of change the client wants.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is a good option for in-depth conversations and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short contact, daily check-ins, or when writing out thoughts helps the process. These formats help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones while keeping the focus on progress and usable tools.
