About Natalia
Natalia Koulichova, LPC, focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, or relationship problems. She speaks English and Russian and draws on more than two decades of experience to guide practical steps forward. Her style centers on listening first and then helping people try doable strategies that fit their life.
Natalia sees the person as the expert on their own story. She looks for strengths you may not notice and uses those as the basis for change.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth, with clear ideas to practice between meetings. Her approach blends talking, skill building, and emotion-focused work. That can mean learning tools to shift unhelpful thinking, practicing ways to tolerate strong feelings, or naming what matters most so daily choices match those values.
She helps people work through grief, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns as well as career and caregiving stress. Over her 22-year career she has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and family-of-origin issues. She also supports people facing immigration stress, hoarding, or struggles with control and abandonment worries.
Natalia aims to make therapy practical and relevant. People leave sessions with specific steps to try and a plan to track small gains. Her work is intended to help you build steadier coping and clearer priorities.
How Natalia’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck when actions don’t match priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. It gives concrete exercises that translate easily to video or messaging work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and processing core emotions to improve relationships and emotional connection; it can help with intimacy-related problems and grief.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That collaborative decision is reviewed over the first few sessions and adjusted as progress or needs change.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling busy schedules or long distances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, try skills in real time, and stay consistent while managing work, caregiving, or travel.
