Natalie Norrell , LCPC

Natalie Norrell is a licensed counselor in Montana who combines talk therapy with creative and experiential methods to help people move toward more fulfilling, intentional lives. As an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor), she integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with art therapy and equine assisted mental health to offer multiple pathways for healing and growth. In sessions she invites clients to explore personal stories through art making and interactions with horses, using those experiences to uncover strengths, build creativity, and support emotional renewal.

Natalie draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to focus on present-day patterns of thinking and behavior, helping clients solve current problems and shift unhelpful responses. When paired with art and equine work, cognitive approaches can accelerate practical change while also honoring the body, imagination, and relational experience as part of recovery. This blended approach can make it easier to reframe past and ongoing life situations and develop healthier perspectives.

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and major life transitions, and offers additional focus in areas such as divorce and separation, domestic violence, veteran and armed forces issues, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and women’s issues. Natalie emphasizes compassionate, skill-building work that helps clients understand underlying beliefs and emotions, practice new strategies, and make decisions that move them closer to the life they want to live.

Integrative Approaches for Online Therapeutic Care

Natalie Norrell uses a mix of approaches adapted for remote work so clients can access meaningful therapeutic tools from wherever they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to change daily patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that benefit from skills-based work. Somatic Therapy connects physical sensations and bodily awareness with emotional experience, using movement, breath, and attention to support regulation and recovery from trauma or overwhelming stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing and resolving the effects of traumatic events through targeted techniques that address symptoms and promote resilience.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Natalie works with each person to explore their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors a plan that may combine methods for the best fit. Clients are invited to try techniques and provide feedback so the work evolves with their progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and lets people engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily life. These options expand access to consistent support while maintaining the therapeutic focus and skill-building that underlie effective treatment.
