About Natalie

Natalie Cheetham is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people cope with loss, change, and emotional strain. She draws on 15 years of experience to guide people through grief, anxiety, and shifts in life roles. She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions.

Natalie helps people notice thought patterns and try small changes that can ease stress and low mood. Conversations are grounded and paced to match how the person is feeling that day.

Background and approach

Grief is a central focus of her work. She addresses many kinds of loss, including bereavement, life transitions, health changes, and the death of a companion animal. Natalie treats new grief and long-standing sorrow with attention to how these experiences shape day-to-day coping.

Natalie also supports people with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and feelings of isolation. She helps young adults and others thinking about life purpose to clarify goals and take manageable steps forward. For older adults she offers thoughtful care around aging and geriatric concerns.

Her style blends cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused conversations. That means sessions often include examining unhelpful thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and identifying clear next steps. The goal is practical tools people can use between meetings.

Natalie works in California and conducts therapy in English. She offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk through difficult emotions and plan for change.

Online support

Approaches that guide online grief and mood work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It helps people break cycles of worry and improve day-to-day functioning. Solution-focused therapy centers on what someone wants to change and builds short-term, achievable steps to get there. This approach is useful for people who want concrete goals and quick strategies to move forward.

Figuring out the best approach is a collaborative process. Natalie will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. She checks in regularly and adjusts the pace or techniques based on what helps most for that person’s situation.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support brief check-ins, and text messaging is useful for ongoing notes and reminders. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins during a workday, or steady support while managing grief and life changes from home.
