About Natalie
Natalie Grier is a licensed independent social worker who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and everyday challenges. She brings 17 years of experience and a direct, calm approach to conversations about stress, grief, mood shifts, and anger. Natalie aims to make the first steps feel manageable and respectful.
Her sessions are built around a client-centered way of working. That means she listens first and follows each person’s priorities.
Background and approach
She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice patterns of thought and behavior, and she borrows elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing intense feelings. Natalie also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people find realistic next steps.
Those methods support small, achievable changes - whether someone is coping with depression, addiction, or career stress. She often breaks big problems into clear steps people can try between sessions. She has experience with trauma, grief, family concerns, intimacy and relationship questions, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and multicultural issues.
Natalie describes sessions in straightforward terms: she listens, reflects, and offers practical suggestions that fit a person’s life and goals. People who reach out can expect a warm, nonjudgmental tone and an emphasis on skills that reduce overwhelm.
Natalie works in Ohio as an Ohio licensed independent social worker, and she supports people who want a practical path toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy starts by centering conversations on the person’s goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client brings to each session, helping shape the work around real-life concerns like anger, grief, or stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different ways of responding, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. Typical online DBT work includes learning distress-tolerance and emotion-regulation skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods feel useful and sustainable.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, skill coaching between appointments, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
