About Natalie
Natalie Kramer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, and parenting challenges.
Natalie draws on several practical approaches in sessions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on naming emotions, noticing patterns, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier.
Her background includes community mental health work and roles within the criminal justice system supporting current offenders and people reentering the community. She has experience working with individuals, couples, and groups in those settings, and has worked with LGBTQ clients and teenagers as part of that practice.
Natalie describes her style as interactive and direct. She brings Christian counseling perspectives for clients who want that viewpoint, and she also offers coaching tools from her training with the John Maxwell Team. In sessions she aims to provide concrete skills, clearer self-awareness, and practical steps clients can use between meetings.
People who choose her can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and reflection. She helps identify patterns that get in the way and then practices different ways of responding. The focus is on workable changes that fit into everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people name feelings that are hard to express and practice new responses in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete techniques for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Natalie works with clients to choose which methods fit their needs and goals. She mixes emotion-focused work with skills practice and motivational strategies so the plan reflects what the client wants to achieve.
