About Natasha
Natasha Maritim is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who uses a practical, problem-solving style to help people manage stress and anxiety. She speaks plain language and focuses on helping clients build skills they can use between sessions. Natasha frames clients as the experts on their own lives and aims to amplify strengths already present.
With three years of clinical experience, she works with people facing depression, attention difficulties such as ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also helps with workplace strain, career decisions, and challenges around intimacy and addictions. Additional areas she addresses include body image, immigration-related stress, loneliness, and finding life purpose. In sessions she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, breaking problems into clear patterns of thought and action.
Conversations often focus on small, concrete steps and skills people can practice. The goal is to reduce overwhelming feelings and increase day-to-day coping. Natasha emphasizes partnership in the work.
She helps people set realistic goals and checks in on progress. Sessions can include coaching-style guidance when someone wants focused, goal-oriented support. She offers services from the District of Columbia and carries the LICSW credential that indicates clinical social work licensure.
Natasha provides care in English and uses telehealth formats such as video, phone, live chat, and text messaging for ongoing support. To begin, she asks people to reflect on goals and try small changes between meetings, so therapy feels useful from early on.
How Natasha uses CBT online and what to expect
Natasha practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors through small, practical experiments that reduce anxiety and lift mood.She approaches the choice of method as a team effort. Together with the client she reviews goals, tries techniques, and adjusts the plan based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative process helps match tools to each person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and working through exercises together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, short coaching, or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work schedules, caregiver duties, or days when getting out is difficult.
