About Natalia
Natalia Koulichova is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, and caregiver or career stress. Sessions are offered in English and Russian and Natalia accepts international clients.
Her approach starts by listening to each person’s story and identifying strengths they already have. She names feelings, patterns, and moments that keep problems repeating. Natalia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside tools from ACT, CBT, and DBT to help people recognize emotions and change unhelpful reactions.
In practical terms she helps people notice what they do when they feel overwhelmed. Then she introduces small, usable strategies to reduce distress and improve connection with others. Conversations often focus on how past wounds shape current relationships and how to build more helpful responses under stress.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Natalia aims to help clients clarify goals, practice new skills, and track progress between meetings. She draws on client-centered principles to keep the work grounded in each person’s values and priorities.
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, family of origin problems, aging and caregiver stress, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue. People who want a therapist who works with emotions, relationship patterns, and practical skills may find this approach a fit.

How her methods translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and relationship patterns. It helps people name feelings, see how those feelings shape behavior, and practice new ways of connecting or responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choose actions that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Natalia will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so sessions stay focused on practical progress.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or letting someone prefer audio over video if that is easier. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises used in EFT, ACT, and CBT for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and track change over weeks.
