About Natalie
Natalie Dukes is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, and a wide range of other struggles. Natalie works in English and practices from Florida.
Her approach mixes practical skills and talk-based work. She draws from client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas help when relationship patterns and strong feelings are part of the problem.
Natalie also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice reactions before they escalate. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she supports change when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. These methods are chosen to match the person rather than to follow a single protocol.
She has worked across many life issues over the years, including addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, body image and ADHD. Natalie lists additional focus areas such as attachment and communication problems, codependency, and coping with life changes.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-directed. People who want practical strategies for anger, better communication, or clearer thinking about next steps find that approach useful. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site's intake flow to match with her and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist reflect what is most important and adjust the pace to the client's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and short home practice tasks that fit well into remote sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at interaction patterns and strong feelings, which can be explored through talk and in-session exercises to notice and shift those patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie collaborates with each person to test what helps most, combining listening with technique. She checks goals and preferences and adapts methods so the plan fits the client rather than forcing one style.
Session formats are not listed on her profile, so confirm available options when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins during lunch breaks or between obligations. Different formats can suit quieter conversations, shorter check-ins, or exercises that don't require being on camera, and the therapist will discuss the practical setup that best matches the client's schedule and needs.
