About Nathalie
Nathalie Contro is a California LMFT with three years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationships, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and blended family issues. She also addresses eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes.
Contro focuses on straightforward collaboration. She helps people notice patterns, learn practical skills, and try different ways of communicating. Sessions aim to build clearer boundaries, better coping strategies, and more reliable ways to handle conflict and triggers.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods. Contro also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy when they fit a person’s needs. She may bring Jungian ideas into conversation about meaning and personal symbolism.
In practice she listens for strengths and recurring problems. Then she offers tools - such as thought-restructuring, emotion-regulation skills, or exercises to practice new interactions. Work can include looking at how past relationships shape current reactions, and how to shift those patterns.
Sessions are practical and focused on what someone can use between meetings. She speaks English and Spanish and is based in California. Prospective clients are asked to use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions. Online conversations using this frame tend to focus on recognizing those patterns and trying different ways of relating in daily life. Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s experience and priorities and involves reflective listening and questions that help someone clarify their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adjust methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps pick which techniques to emphasize across sessions.
The therapist’s exact session formats are not listed here, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let clients practice communication skills between meetings in the settings where problems actually come up, which can make new behaviors more practical and sustainable.
