About Natalie

Natalie Summit is a licensed professional counselor with nearly three decades of experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship struggles. Natalie combines practical skills with steady support to help people move through hard moments and make changes that matter.

She began her career in community mental health and later spent 20 years serving in a law enforcement agency as a mental health professional before retiring in 2019. That work included crisis intervention and supporting people after difficult events. Those experiences shaped her belief in peoples resilience and the value of being heard.

Natalie uses a mix of therapy styles to meet individual needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral work to address thinking and behavior patterns, client-centered approaches to follow the person's pace, and mindfulness skills to manage strong emotions. She also brings techniques useful for trauma, addiction, and relationship concerns.

Her background gives her familiarity with issues such as domestic violence, sexual assault, grief, substance use, and workplace stress. She has a particular interest in the challenges faced by first responders and others exposed to repeated crises. Natalie aims to build respect and trust first, then work collaboratively toward realistic steps forward.

Sessions are offered via telehealth and are structured to fit the client's goals. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire to begin matching and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Natalie holds the LPC and LCMHC credentials and practices in Arizona.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them, which can help with mood disorders, anxiety, and addiction. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the person's lead, helping them feel heard and understood as they work toward change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Natalie works together with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration guides whether sessions lean more toward skills training, trauma-focused work, or reflective, person-centered conversation.

She offers telehealth counseling, so prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different ways of working and adjust the format as goals shift, while the therapist and client decide together what feels most useful.
