About Natalie
Natalie Summit is a licensed professional counselor with nearly three decades of experience. She practices in Arizona and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Natalie focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and self-esteem, and she also helps people facing relationship and family challenges and life transitions.
Her background includes long work in community mental health and a 20-year role supporting law enforcement before retiring from that agency in 2019.
Background and approach
That experience shaped a calm, practical approach to crises and high-stress situations. She values listening first and helping people feel heard before moving to problem-solving. Natalie uses a mix of approaches that fit the person and the problem.
She draws on Gottman Method practices for relationship communication, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and goals, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Other methods she uses include dialectical skills and client-centered techniques to keep sessions grounded and focused on the client's needs. Sessions are straightforward and collaborative.
Natalie aims to build trust quickly, identify small steps, and practice skills between meetings. She often works with people facing addiction, domestic violence impacts, first responder stress, chronic mood concerns, and trauma-related issues. People who reach out can expect a practical, respectful space and attention to safety and resilience.
Language of sessions is English, and Natalie does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

Online support
Approaches in online care and what they do
Gottman Method work focuses on everyday communication and small, teachable habits that improve how people talk and solve problems together; it is often used to improve connection and reduce repeating fights. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and then take committed steps toward those values even when emotions feel heavy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical techniques to change behaviors and mood.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Natalie will listen to your goals, try an idea, and adjust based on what helps. Together you decide which combination of methods fits your needs and preferences rather than using a single fixed plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction and teaching of skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework review, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options make scheduling easier around work, caregiving, or shift schedules common to first responders.
