About Natasha
Natasha Deshommes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience. She is based in Rhode Island and works in English and Haitian Creole. Natasha focuses on family concerns, grief, self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, parenting, career questions, and coaching needs.
She helps people who are adjusting to life changes such as adoption, foster care, or blended family challenges. Conversations are straightforward and practical. Sessions often look at everyday patterns that keep problems going and small changes that make daily life easier.
Narrative and client-centered ideas shape her approach. She listens for personal stories and looks for strengths the client can use. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to test what works.
Dialectical behavior ideas and motivational interviewing may be brought in to manage intense emotions and to clarify goals. Sessions aim for clear steps and coping tools rather than abstract theory. Natasha adapts what she does to the client’s stated goals and pace.
She has worked with people facing family-of-origin problems, communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. People who speak English or Haitian Creole can discuss how these issues affect daily life. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching steps and schedule a first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back a person's experience. It helps people feel heard and explore what matters to them most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses small experiments to test new ways of coping; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that seem likely to help, and adjust methods as progress or obstacles become clear. That collaborative planning is part of regular sessions rather than a one-time decision.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can help fit counseling into busy schedules by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. They can make shorter check-ins easier and let people use video or audio based on what works best for them. Natasha uses her approaches to focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings and to track progress over time.
