About Natalie
Natalie Wingard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He also supports people dealing with guilt and shame and related concerns such as attachment wounds, impulsivity, and isolation.
Natalie describes his style as client-centered. He compares therapy to riding in a car together - the person in therapy is the driver and he sits beside them. He offers options, notices patterns, and sometimes challenges thinking so a client can test different choices and see what fits.
He often combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means he listens for the story someone tells about themselves, and then helps identify thoughts or behaviors that keep them stuck. Together they try practical steps to shift thinking and reduce unhelpful reactions.
Much of his experience has been in addiction care, including sexual and behavioral addictions, and in supporting people with panic, mood disorders, and grief. He also works with chronic pain and co-occurring conditions where more than one issue is present.
Natalie says his motivation comes from personal loss and from watching how limited supports can leave people vulnerable. He aims to offer skills and steady feedback so clients can make choices that feel more manageable. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and people begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client’s lead. In practice that looks like the therapist asking questions, offering observations, and supporting choices while the client decides next steps. This approach helps when someone needs someone to witness their feelings and test out new ways of responding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In short sessions the therapist and client identify unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioral experiments, and track what changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and some addiction-related patterns.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will work with the client to decide which methods feel most relevant to their goals and preferences. If changes are needed, they adjust the plan together rather than sticking rigidly to one method.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them practice new skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into therapy.
