About Natalie
Natalie Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey. She brings 18 years of mental health experience to her work and uses a person-centered, humanistic stance to meet people where they are. Natalie uses everyday language and calm curiosity to help people feel seen and heard as they begin therapy.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and issues related to identity such as LGBT and gender dysphoria.
Background and approach
Natalie also helps with relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, career questions, and coping with life changes. Phobias are listed among the areas she addresses when they relate to these broader concerns. Her clinical toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method.
Natalie describes the work as collaborative - she and the person in therapy set goals together and pick approaches that fit those goals. Her background spans community and independent practice settings, including hospitals, residential programs, schools, partial care, and outpatient services. That range informs practical strategies for everyday challenges and distress.
Natalie aims to help people increase self-understanding and self-compassion. Sessions often focus on clearer internal communication, building healthier internal relationships, and finding practical steps to move toward a more authentic, satisfying life.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and phobias. Client-Centered Therapy concentrates on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel safe to explore identity, self-worth, and internal conflict.Natalie approaches treatment as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try first. If an approach doesn’t fit, she will adjust the plan together so the work feels useful and relevant.
Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversations and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief coaching-style support, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
