About Natasha

Natasha Deshommes is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing grief, family conflict, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She writes treatment plans to fit each person's situation and meets clients with respect and compassion. Natasha speaks English and Haitian Creole and works from Rhode Island as a clinician with eight years of experience. Her sessions focus on practical steps to feel better day to day. She uses client-centered work to listen and prioritize the client's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings run high. She also brings motivational interviewing and narrative therapy into sessions when they match a client's needs. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is stuck and wants support to make a change. Narrative therapy helps people tell a clearer story about their life and values. Natasha has worked with people coping with caregiving stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, adoption and foster care concerns, and first responder issues. She also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, eating-related concerns, and communication problems. Beginning therapy with her starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button. The subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Natasha's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. In this approach the therapist reflects what she hears and helps the person set their own goals, which works well for grief, relationship strain, and parenting stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is practical and action-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can help when stress, compassion fatigue, or trauma symptoms make daily life hard.

Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit. Over time approaches can be adjusted based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is meeting with clients. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people choose formats that suit their energy level, such as working without video or keeping sessions focused on skills practice.
