About NaTanya
NaTanya Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of experience in the mental health field. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges tied to relationships or family life. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at practical change rather than complicated language.
NaTanya treats each person as an individual and partners with them to set achievable goals. She draws on client-centered methods to understand a person's priorities, then adds tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Solution-focused techniques help keep sessions goal-oriented and action-based. In session she uses clear exercises, reflective conversation, and short-term steps clients can test between meetings. That can mean practicing new communication skills, trying small behavior changes, or building ways to manage anger and strong emotions.
Her aim is to leave people with skills they can use day to day. Her background includes five years as a counseling intern and five years working as a licensed counselor in Texas. She has run both individual and group sessions.
This mix informs a flexible approach that can be adapted to a client's pace and needs. NaTanya speaks English and provides online services in Texas. She supports people navigating life changes, caregiver stress, body image concerns, workplace difficulties, feelings of emptiness, and the struggle to build self-love.
The focus is on practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier behavior.

Approaches that guide online sessions
NaTanya uses client-centered therapy to start sessions by listening closely and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps clarify priorities and ensures goals come from the client's own values.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting thought patterns that feed stress, anxiety, or anger and testing practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for managing strong emotions and adjusting habits that no longer serve someone.
Solution-focused therapy is used to keep work short-term and action-oriented. Sessions often include clear, small steps clients can try between meetings and quick checks on what is working.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying methods, checking results, and shifting course when needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone calls can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth, chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging makes short, frequent support possible. These options offer flexibility so people can fit sessions into work, caregiving, or daily life.
