About Nathalie

Nathalie Carrera is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, family problems, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Nathalie uses concrete conversation and listening to help people name feelings that feel unclear or overwhelming. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered ideas to look at how emotions and relationships shape everyday patterns. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT skills when they fit a person’s needs.

In a typical session she pays attention to how people describe their relationships and reactions. She helps identify recurring interaction styles and the emotions beneath them. Practical skills for managing distress and changing unhelpful thinking are part of the work when they are useful.

Her background includes nine years of hands-on practice with family conflict, parenting strains, and trauma-related concerns. Nathalie works with people who want clearer communication, steadier moods, and more manageable stress. She encourages straightforward goals and regular check-ins on progress.

Sessions aim to be direct and conversational. People can expect a mix of listening, reflecting, and skill-building tailored to their concerns. To start, readers should confirm current session format options before booking.

How Nathalie Uses EFT and Related Approaches in Remote Sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming core emotions and how they shape relationship patterns. It can help when feelings are hard to name and when interaction cycles keep repeating.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship experiences influence reactions in the present. It helps people understand patterns around closeness, trust, and separation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting back what a person shares so they can make sense of their experience and choose next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether EFT, attachment-focused ideas, or skill-based CBT/DBT strategies best fit the situation. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a weekday or evening, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, and video sessions allow for face-to-face interaction when that is preferred. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
