About NaTanya
NaTanya Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She offers straightforward support for grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and the strain that comes with life changes. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at clear steps forward rather than vague talk.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, she helps break problems into manageable parts and finds realistic ways to cope. With ten years in mental health, NaTanya brings experience from both individual and group counseling settings.
Background and approach
That includes five years as a counseling intern and five years practicing as a licensed counselor. She has helped people address communication problems, caregiver stress, workplace worries, body image, and feelings of isolation. NaTanya uses client-centered methods to keep the focus on each person’s priorities.
She pairs that with solution-focused strategies to set achievable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts that feed anxiety and low mood. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented.
NaTanya works with clients to build useful coping skills and clearer communication habits. She encourages small, steady changes that add up over time. People who benefit most are those ready to try active strategies and practice new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions.
NaTanya aims to be a steady partner as people work toward greater balance, self-compassion, and clarity about what matters to them.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's goals first and guides sessions by what matters most to each person. In online sessions this means conversations focus on your priorities and pacing, whether you prefer short check-ins by text or longer video meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts that fuel anxiety and teaches practical ways to change them. Online CBT can include worksheets, thought records, and step-by-step practice that you can use between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, short-term goals and practical steps toward them. It works well in remote formats where sessions stay focused on tangible progress and measurable next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then try methods that fit your situation. That collaborative process lets you adjust strategies over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you want to avoid being on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, journaling prompts, and shorter reflections between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
