About Nathalie
Nathalie Donny is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of practice experience. She focuses on common concerns such as anxiety and stress, along with depression and life changes. Nathalie works in English and French and brings a practical, straightforward style to sessions.
Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse, including sexual and physical trauma. She also helps people with relationship struggles, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, and parenting strains.
Background and approach
Her work as a coach supports career transitions and other major life adjustments. Nathalie uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She pairs that with mindfulness and a client-centered approach so people can try new responses in a supportive setting.
She also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation or strong reactions get in the way of daily life. Sessions focus on concrete skills and short-term goals when that fits. Nathalie aims to give people tools they can use between meetings, and she adjusts pace to each person's needs.
She emphasizes building self-awareness and improving self-esteem through small, steady steps. She has served as a supervisor for master's-level counselors pursuing licensure. People who choose her can expect clear explanations of techniques and collaborative planning about what to work on next.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions aligned with what matters most. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes by shifting focus toward meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when visual cues matter, while phone calls can work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or a way to keep progress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules.
