About Nathalie

Nathalie Carrera is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience assisting people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and transitions that disrupt daily life.

Background and approach

She draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods to help clients explore difficult feelings, improve communication, and regain a sense of control and purpose after painful experiences such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, or immigration-related stress. Her work also addresses concerns like depression, anger, low self-esteem, caregiver strain, and post-traumatic stress.

She approaches therapy in a collaborative, client-centered way that emphasizes openness and nonjudgmental support. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and skill-based strategies from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are woven together with attachment-focused and emotionally-focused interventions when they fit a person’s needs.

Fluent in English and Spanish, she practices in Florida and guides clients through change by helping them identify patterns, build coping skills, and strengthen relationships while honoring each person’s cultural background and life story.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Many clients benefit from structured, skills-focused work such as cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape current emotional responses and interpersonal patterns, which can be especially helpful for people coping with family conflict, adoption and foster care issues, or attachment difficulties.

Therapy selection is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then recommend or blend approaches that best fit the client’s needs. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and manageable while allowing methods to be adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels with remote care. These options make it easier to maintain regular work on coping skills, communication strategies, and emotional processing without needing to travel, and they support continuity of care across everyday demands and life transitions.
