Natalie Eden is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self esteem, and life transitions. She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help clients make sense of hard moments and move forward. Natalie draws on 13 years of experience and keeps work focused on each person's goals and strengths.
She aims to restore a person’s sense of dignity and build on existing abilities for problem solving and growth. Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and time to talk through feelings about relationships, work, parenting, or health challenges. Natalie also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and sleeping problems.
Natalie holds two master’s degrees including a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. She is licensed as an LCPC in Illinois and an LPC in Pennsylvania. Before independent practice she worked at an outpatient behavioral health clinic in downtown Chicago providing individual and group counseling.
Her background includes coursework in addictions and motivational interviewing, and clinical experience with anxiety, post-traumatic stress responses, and grief. She brings a calm, practical style and uses methods that match what each person needs in the moment.
Outside of work she enjoys travel, writing, genealogy, and art. People who choose her can expect focused, respectful sessions that aim to increase insight and everyday coping skills.
How Natalie’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathy, and helps people name what matters most; this approach can help with self esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete tools such as testing unhelpful thoughts and building small behavior changes, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Natalie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest approaches that fit those needs. Together they decide what to try first and adjust as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. In general online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - appointments can work around school, work, or caregiving schedules and reduce travel time. Some formats allow shorter check-ins while others support longer, in-depth sessions, so discussing practical needs during the first scheduling step helps match the right format.
