About Natalee
Natalee Russell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She works with adults who are coping with mood challenges, panic, social fears, and concerns about eating, body image, and self-worth.

Russell draws on five years of counseling work and a social science background. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Louisiana Tech University and a Master of Science in Counseling from Louisiana State University of Shreveport.
Background and approach
Those studies inform her understanding of relationships and behavior in daily life. In sessions she helps people name patterns, practice new ways of responding, and break problems into doable steps. Common topics include attachment issues, communication struggles, control and guilt, and panic attacks.
She uses techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building coping skills over time. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and tools they can try between sessions. Russell emphasizes collaboration - clients set goals and pick the pace.
She aims to make therapy feel useful and relevant to everyday demands. Based in Louisiana, she offers appointments through a range of online formats. Sessions are arranged after a brief matching questionnaire and scheduled according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic techniques and online care
Many of the techniques she uses focus on changing thoughts and building coping skills. Cognitive approaches help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. These methods are useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, and ongoing worry.She also uses exposure and skills-based strategies to reduce avoidance and increase confidence. These approaches break fears into small steps so people can practice and gain control over symptoms like panic or social phobia. For concerns around body image or eating, treatment emphasizes practical behavior changes and self-support techniques.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust plans when needed. This lets the therapy match individual needs, pace, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions let people talk face to face, phone works well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick updates or times when scheduling is tight. These options help people fit counseling into work, family, and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and real-world skills.
