About Natalie
Natalie Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 18 years of experience in mental health. She has worked across hospital, residential, school, partial care, and outpatient settings. Natalie lists a wide range of concerns she helps people with, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, relationship and family issues, and LGBTQ-related challenges.
Natalie uses a client-centered, humanistic approach. She focuses on helping people notice patterns they might not be aware of and then choose different responses. Sessions emphasize building a straightforward working relationship and setting clear, achievable goals together.
Her practical toolkit draws on evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method. She blends these approaches with person-centered listening to address symptoms and everyday problems alike.
Natalie has experience across community and private practice settings. That background includes brief crisis-focused work and longer-term outpatient counseling. She often helps people improve internal communication, reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, and build more satisfying ways of relating to themselves and others.
People who connect with Natalie typically want clear goals and practical skills alongside reflective conversation. She describes her work as collaborative: she and the client set the direction together and track progress openly. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and practical coping, not to promise a fixed outcome.
How Natalie uses ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different responses to change mood and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and building a direct working relationship so goals can be set together.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Natalie treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and combine methods that fit those needs. The plan can change as progress and priorities shift.
Session format specifics are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so someone can balance work or study with appointments. Therapists use these formats to focus on practical skills, communication work, and tracking goals across sessions.
