About Natalie

Natalie Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 18 years of mental health experience. She has worked in hospitals, residential programs, schools, partial care, and outpatient settings. Natalie uses she/they pronouns and focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, parenting, grief, anger, and career challenges.

Her approach is grounded in client-centered, humanistic practice. She aims to help people recognize their authentic selves and reduce self-judgment. In sessions she and the client set clear goals and use evidence-based tools to work toward them.

Natalie draws on modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method as fits the client’s needs. She emphasizes developing practical skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and strengthening internal self-talk.

She has spent many years supporting people across different service settings, which informs a flexible, down-to-earth style. Natalie helps clients bring unconscious patterns into awareness so they can make different choices in daily life. That work often starts with small habits and coping strategies that reduce reactivity and build steadier responses.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is getting in the way of their goals. Natalie works collaboratively to set achievable steps, practice new skills, and track progress. She offers services in English and does not work with international clients.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anger that feels automatic or for major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to change them, which is practical for stress, anxiety, and reactive anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage intense feelings and improve communication.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying one strategy for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around daily life, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where their challenges happen. Ask about the available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how appointments will be arranged.
