She's so fantastic, patient, calm, and gives me time to contemplate what I say and worry about, before giving me some gentle advice, such as trying to reframe the situation where I don't feel as doomed and terrible. Especially with all the challenges and emotional rollercoasters of law school.
More about Natalie
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
My name is Natalie S. Dukes and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience working with clients from a wide variety of demographic and cultural backgrounds. I have worked with clients with concerns including anger management, depression, ADHD, OCD, family/relationship issues, anxiety, trauma and domestic violence just to name a few. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, so I use a wide range of modalities including Cognitive Behavioral, Family Systems Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Psychodrama, Play Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Biofeedback, Coaching and Reality Therapy.
My belief is when human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. My great passion is bringing healing to people who have been through a traumatic/stressful experience. I help clients, who include children, adults, couples and families, to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole and safe. With that being said, consider allowing me to assist you with the therapeutic process and Role of Recovery.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

So far I love her, I feel better with each session about what my future looks like
Natalie has been a great therapist. She responds to me quickly. She listens and then gives her response or advice. I really enjoy our sessions
Natalie has been an awesome resource and helps me to process my feelings. She takes my concerns head on and offers clear steps to help me practice better behaviors and thought exercises. Natalie helps me to pause all the noise in my head and see a way to a solution.
She is so good. I’m very grateful for her.
Natalie is the absolute best. I have had an immense amount of measurable growth in the year I’ve spoken with her, and she’s helped me celebrate it!
Natalie is great. She is communicative, understanding and empathetic. Recommend!
Natalie is wonderful, smart and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.
She is very supportive and insightful, and has been helping me learn to set boundaries, be more assertive, and learn how to be more comfortable doing these things as I begin to advocate for myself. She has also helped me with my anxiety, low-self esteem, grief, family relationships, and trauma. I feel very comfortable and understood by her. I definitely recommend her!
Natalie is a wonderful counselor. She is a great listener and offers sound, practical advice. It seems like every session, Natalie provides me an “aha” moment through her insight. She is also very reliable and flexible when it comes to appointments. I totally trust Natalie as she is someone who genuinely cares.
I haven’t been seeing my therapist for a long time but the time that I have spoken to her she’s been helpful and understanding of my needs.
So far so good. I look forward to continuing my sessions with her. Doesn't judge and provides good feedback. I recommend.
