About Natalie
Natalie Greenfield is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience. She brings long-term clinical work into a private practice setting. Natalie focuses on everyday problems that get in the way of functioning and relationships, including anxiety and panic concerns.
She has worked across multiple settings and with a wide range of people. Much of her work has involved women's issues, trauma, and severe mental health concerns, which inform how she approaches current clients. In private practice she helps people address anger, depression, stress, relationship conflict, and the effects of trauma.
Natalie favors clear, practical strategies in sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to pinpoint thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about making changes.
Her style is supportive and direct. She offers education about problems and concrete feedback on steps people can try between sessions. Natalie encourages clients to build on strengths and practice coping skills that reduce daily disruptions.
Sessions include a focus on problem solving and harm-reduction when appropriate. Trauma-informed care is woven into her work, so safety and pacing are considered when discussing difficult experiences. She aims to help people find realistic ways to feel steadier in day-to-day life.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques Natalie uses include cognitive behavioral methods and motivational interviewing. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels uncertain about change by exploring personal reasons and strengths to support action. She also uses trauma-informed care, which means attending to pacing and safety when trauma is part of the story. This approach helps guide how sessions are structured and how quickly to move into difficult material. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help you decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and comfort level. Together you can adjust techniques over time based on what helps most. The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments.
