About Natasha
Natasha Deshommes is an LPC and LMHC with eight years of clinical experience. She practices in Rhode Island and speaks English and Haitian Creole. She works with concerns such as family conflict, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, parenting and career transitions.
Natasha focuses on practical talk and problem solving. She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort priorities and notice what is getting in the way. Sessions look at current problems and the things a person can try between meetings to test what helps.
Her work draws on client-centered methods, which means conversations reflect each person's goals and pace. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and DBT skills for managing strong emotions when needed. Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas are used to clarify values and reshape personal stories that feel stuck.
People often come for help with blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, caregiving stress, body image and codependency. She also addresses first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, immigration-related stress, and eating or food-related concerns.
Natasha aims to make sessions direct and practical. She helps people set small, achievable steps and checks in on progress. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a first session are used to shape goals and next steps.
How Natasha’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's goals. In practice this means conversations shaped around what the person wants to change and how fast they want to move. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and habits with clearly defined steps to try between sessions; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and sleep or concentration problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when stress or relationships feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natasha collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust techniques as progress and feedback guide the process so the plan stays relevant and doable.
Confirm current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy college schedule, a first job, or caregiving responsibilities. Some formats need less bandwidth or camera use and can suit a shorter check-in during a lunch break. Talk with the therapist after completing the matching questionnaire to confirm which session options will be used and how they can fit into daily life.
