About Natalie
Natalie Stainback is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and substance concerns. She works in a direct and approachable way so parents and individuals can talk about what’s happening now and make small changes that help. Her style is relaxed but focused on clear goals.
Natalie has worked across many settings, including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, schools, outpatient clinics, and in-home care.
Background and approach
That range means she has experience supporting people with sleep problems, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also has experience with addictions and with veterans. In sessions she uses evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, solution-focused methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
She aims to keep sessions practical and skills-focused so people leave with tools they can use that week. Natalie emphasizes collaboration and adapts plans as needs change. Her approach is person-centered and interactive.
She asks about goals, offers observations, and gently challenges people to try new strategies. She welcomes diversity in gender identity and sexual orientation and works without judgment across different cultural backgrounds. Clients benefit from clear, small-step plans and a therapist who will learn from them as well.
Natalie encourages people to think of counseling as a process where steady progress builds confidence and better coping. If a parent or individual needs help with anger, relationship stress, or addictive behavior, she focuses on practical steps toward managing those concerns.

How evidence-based approaches work in online care
Many clients find Cognitive Behavior Therapy helpful for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT breaks problems into small parts and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, anger, or depressive symptoms. Mindfulness techniques help people notice stress responses and choose calmer reactions, which can be useful for managing anger and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit their life. If a technique isn’t working, she will adjust the plan and try another direction so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy makes sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when video isn’t convenient, live chat can be used for quick exchanges, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility for appointments around school, work, or caregiving and let people use the format that helps them engage with therapy best.
