About Natalie
Natalie Kramer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and challenges tied to life transitions and parenting. She also lists blended family issues among her focus areas.
Natalie uses straightforward conversations and practical tools. She leans on cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used to build awareness and strengthen motivation for change.
Her background includes community mental health and work in the criminal justice system with current and former offenders. She has supported individuals at different life stages and with varied concerns, including mood disorders and coping with major life changes. She also brings experience as a teacher, speaker, trainer, and coach through the John Maxwell Team.
Sessions aim to give clear techniques and everyday skills, such as emotion regulation and communication tactics. Natalie integrates emotionally focused ideas when relationship patterns and intimacy concerns come up. She describes her style as interactive and values direct, respectful dialogue that helps people develop concrete coping strategies.
She offers a blend of practical skill-building and reflective conversation. That approach is intended to help clients gain insight and try new behaviors, one step at a time. People in stepfamilies or blended households may find the focus on communication, boundaries, and managing loyalty conflicts useful when merging routines or parenting with an ex.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on noticing thought patterns and changing behaviors. Online work with CBT often uses simple exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions. DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can be practiced in brief exercises and mindfulness drills during meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She will check in about what helps and adjust techniques based on the client's needs and preferences.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and parenting duties. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid needing to travel for appointments. Licensed professionals typically use these options to make therapy more accessible while keeping the focus on practical tools and consistent progress.
