About Natalie
Natalie Kramer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana. She brings nine years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, and major life transitions.

Natalie blends talk-based work with goal-focused strategies. She often uses cognitive-behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practical skills for coping. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing show up in sessions to build motivation and steady attention.
Background and approach
Emotionally-focused methods and some psychodynamic ideas help when relationship patterns or earlier experiences get in the way. Natalie describes her approach as warm and interactive, and she adapts conversations to the needs of each person. She also offers Christian counseling and brings those values into sessions when clients want that perspective.
Her prior work includes community mental health settings and roles connected to the criminal justice system. That background gave her experience with a wide range of concerns and life situations. She also has training as a teacher, speaker, trainer, and coach through the John Maxwell Team.
Natalie aims to give insight alongside tools so people can make concrete change. Sessions focus on clear steps, coping strategies, and building awareness that supports long-term goals.
Approaches and online options for skill building
Natalie often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and learning concrete coping skills. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness when feelings run high.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Natalie works together with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as those needs change over time. This collaborative method helps match practical tools to everyday challenges.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow fuller interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or fit lower bandwidth, and chat or text can work for brief updates and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on skills and progress.
