About Natalie
Natalie Patton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky with 12 years of experience in mental health. She makes space for people who are feeling overwhelmed and helps them find practical steps forward. Natalie recognizes how hard it is to reach out and meets each person with respect and curiosity.
Her background includes work in community mental health, emergency room settings, and programs supporting people who have experienced domestic violence.
Background and approach
That range gave her experience with trauma, mood instability, anxiety, and depression. She has also supported people dealing with grief, addiction, relationship struggles, parenting stress, ADHD, and anger. Natalie centers empathy and a nonjudgmental stance in sessions.
She listens first, then tailors the plan to each person's needs. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, among other methods. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals.
People work on coping skills, emotion regulation, and changing patterns that cause pain. Natalie also helps clients notice values and build small habits that align with what matters to them. Therapy can feel uncertain at the start, and she acknowledges that.
Natalie aims for a steady, compassionate pace so people can try things out and adjust as needed. She invites clients to be active partners in the work and to move forward one step at a time.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and for getting unstuck by focusing on what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for depression, worry, and mood regulation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting emotional responses to improve how someone understands and responds to strong feelings, which can help with grief, relationship stress, and intense emotions.Natalie works collaboratively to find the best fit among these approaches. She listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try. Together you can adjust the approach over time so the work matches what you want to change.
Online therapy offers options to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for frequent check-ins, shorter coaching-style support, or when writing helps you process thoughts. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
