About Natalie
Natalie Kramer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with nine years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and anger.
Her approach is practical and interactive. She uses a mix of methods including cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior therapy skills, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on clear tools and simple strategies that can be used between meetings.
Natalie draws on past work in community mental health and the criminal justice system. That background shaped how she helps people handle strong emotions and difficult situations. She has experience with people facing mood disorders, substance issues, and problems tied to life transitions.
She also brings coaching and teaching experience from work with the John Maxwell Team. That often shows up as a focus on goal-setting, practical steps, and building everyday habits. Clients can expect a mix of short-term skills work and longer discussions about patterns that keep problems repeating.
Natalie offers Christian counseling perspectives to clients who want those values included. She works in English. For clients hoping to understand session logistics, they are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
CBT, or cognitive-behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep anger or worry cycling.DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. Those skills can help when reactions feel overwhelming or impulsive.
Emotionally-focused ideas help people name and track core feelings in close relationships and work on how emotions shape interactions. This can be useful for intimacy issues and recurring relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past, then together they try methods that fit the client's needs. That collaborative process can include experimenting with different techniques over several sessions.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the need to take a long block out of a day. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework for use between online sessions so tools learned in therapy can be used in everyday situations.
