About Natalie
Natalie Summit is a licensed counselor with nearly three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, grief, and major life changes. She brings a calm, direct manner and practical strategies to conversations. Natalie communicates clearly and respects each person's pace when finding workable next steps.
She began in community mental health and spent 20 years working with a local law enforcement agency before retiring from that role in 2019.
Background and approach
That background shapes how she responds in crisis and supports people after traumatic events. Her experience includes responding to violence, abuse, addiction, and sudden loss. Natalie uses straightforward, skills-based work alongside supportive listening.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, acceptance principles, and dialectical skills to help with mood, anger, and coping. Sessions focus on specific skills people can use between meetings and on small, realistic goals. Many people come to her to address relationship strain, parenting stress, career pressure, or compassion fatigue.
She also helps with self-esteem, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose. Her approach is adaptive and practical, shaped by years of varied clinical work. Natalie holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and practices in Arizona.
She offers telehealth options and works with people from diverse backgrounds. Conversations are collaborative and oriented toward tangible changes in daily life that support safety and emotional balance.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for skill building
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them while taking actions that match their values. This can help when anger or anxiety gets in the way of daily goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT teaches concrete ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for mood, anxiety, and breaking cycles related to addiction or anger.)Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences. From there she helps tailor a plan that may combine ACT, CBT, and other practical tools to fit what the person needs right now.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer, skill-based work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for mid-day check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, homework support, or ongoing reminders between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and caregiving schedules while focusing on skill practice and steady progress.
