About Natalie

Natalie Kramer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and related struggles.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, she draws on a variety of evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs and goals. Her work emphasizes an interactive and compassionate therapeutic relationship, offering practical tools alongside opportunities for insight and growth.

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with elements of dialectical skills, emotionally focused work, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to address patterns of thought, emotion regulation, and relational dynamics. Natalie also brings coaching skills and a values-informed perspective when clients request that orientation.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that aims to increase self-awareness, build coping skills, and support meaningful change. She has experience across community mental health and court-related settings, and she adapts interventions to fit the unique circumstances and priorities each person brings to therapy.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Natalie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when those areas are priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques are used to explore and improve relationship patterns and attachment-related concerns when that work is relevant.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. She works with each person to clarify goals, preferences, and needs, and then adapts methods over time so the care aligns with what’s most helpful for the client.

Online therapy with Natalie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations within Indiana. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions into busy lives, continue work during transitions, and revisit techniques between meetings, all while allowing the therapist and client to adjust the pace and style of care as progress unfolds.
