Natalie Kramer , LCSW

Natalie Kramer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with nine years of professional experience. She earned her degree from the University of Southern Indiana in 2016 and has worked across community mental health settings as well as within the criminal justice system, supporting both current offenders and individuals reentering the community. Her clinical experience spans depression, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, coping with life changes, and related challenges, and she has provided care for singles, couples, families, teenagers, adults, LGBTQ clients, and groups.

Natalie’s style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, compassion, and empathy while focused on practical growth. She integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, emotionally focused methods, and psychodynamic ideas to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. As a Christian counselor, she offers faith-informed perspectives when appropriate, and she adapts dialogue and interventions to reflect each client’s values and goals.

Her work emphasizes building self-awareness and equipping clients with tools and strategies to create lasting change. In addition to clinical practice, Natalie is a certified teacher, speaker, trainer, and coach trained by the John Maxwell Team, and she brings that training to her coaching and educational work. She welcomes those ready to take steps toward meaningful change and is accepting new clients in Indiana.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Remotely

Natalie uses therapeutic approaches that emphasize practical skills and emotional understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it can support those struggling with intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships - it is useful for couples and individuals working on attachment, intimacy, and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Natalie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so therapy remains aligned with what is most helpful for the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access by allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, stay connected during life transitions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can deliver effective, structured care through these formats, and Natalie uses them to support consistent progress and approachable, ongoing work.
