About Natalie

Natalie Alepin is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, with 27 years of clinical experience. She practices in Missouri and has a long history working in crisis, outpatient, and inpatient settings. Natalie helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and other life strains.

Her style is interactive and respectful. Sessions tend to be direct and conversational, with attention to practical problems and emotional patterns. She mixes approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered methods to help people manage symptoms and make decisions.

Natalie also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and existential ideas when clients are facing big life questions or grief. Jungian perspectives inform deeper exploration of patterns and meaning when that fits a person's needs. She has experience supporting people with chronic illness, pain, and caregiver stress.

She works with adults across a broad age span and lists many focus areas including career issues, parenting concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, bipolar experiences, and coping with life changes. Natalie can hold frank conversations about addictions, codependency, and commitment or communication struggles.

Sessions are offered in English and French. International clients are not accepted. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck when life feels uncertain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep or concentration problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an honest, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist listens and reflects so the client can find their own solutions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie will explore the client’s goals and preferences and adjust the mix of ACT, CBT, or client-centered methods as the relationship develops. That decision is collaborative and aimed at what fits the person’s day-to-day life and concerns. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or a longer session when a deeper conversation is needed. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled and billed.
