About Nathalie

Nathalie Contro is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings three years of formal licensure experience to her work and speaks English and Spanish. Nathalie focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, mood challenges, and relationship strain.

She keeps sessions practical and grounded. Nathalie listens first, then helps people notice patterns that make life harder. She teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and coping with changes like grief or career shifts.

Background and approach

Sessions often include short exercises and goal-focused conversations. Her approach blends several traditions to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Attachment-based ideas guide work on trust and closeness in relationships. Client-centered principles shape a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Nathalie also works with issues tied to addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, body image, and chronic illness.

She pays attention to how early relationships and attachment patterns affect current behavior. Practical tools and reflection are both part of the process. People who choose her usually want clear strategies alongside thoughtful listening.

She helps with relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, coping with life transitions, and building self-esteem. The first sessions focus on immediate priorities and a realistic plan for change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape how people relate today. It helps when trust, closeness, or repeated conflict get in the way of feeling supported with others. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience, offering acceptance and reflection so people can make choices that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk about goals and try methods that fit the problem and the person's preferences. Plans can change as progress is made, and sessions mix skill-building with deeper reflection so people get both tools and insight. Online options make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face work on communication and emotional expression. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick coping strategies between sessions or let someone check in on a flexible schedule. These formats help people build skills, track progress, and integrate therapy into a busy life.
