Dr. Natalia Maria Frankel, LCP — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Dr. Natalia Maria!

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with approximately 20 years of experience as a caring mental health professional. Currently, I provide therapy services online to adult clients who live in Florida and Virginia. I prefer working with clients remotely, through the use of the internet, & have found that it works just as well as in-person therapy.

My focus

I specialize in working with adult individuals who have been experiencing symptoms of anxiety and/or depression and are ready to make changes that will help them feel better.

My approach

I consider myself an eclectic practitioner of therapy who uses evidence-based treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. I help my clients examine their current life circumstances, particularly their thoughts, feelings, and reactions to stressful situations, and assist them in finding ways to change their perspective, and enjoy their lives.

My communication style

I am the type of person that people find it easy to talk to and open up about their problems and inner thoughts. I consider myself a very empathic, supportive, and understanding person who does not pass judgment on others. I have a calm disposition, which helps others be at ease, and I like to actively listen versus share about myself.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been an inquisitive person and interested in learning about psychology, and what makes us who we are as individuals. At an early age, I often helped family and friends who were going through tough times, and later on in life, I decided to get an advanced degree and practical, hands-on training to be a practitioner of psychology.

My goals for you

Before your first session, think about your expectations of therapy and what you would like to accomplish, improve, or change. We will discuss these thoughts and collaborate on setting attainable goals within a specific time frame, working together toward meaningful progress.

Our first session

During the first session, I provide information about online therapy, such as confidentiality and privacy matters, setting appointments, and preferred ways of communicating in between sessions.
