About Natalie

Natalie Ihli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Colorado with 17 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, motivation issues, grief, self-doubt, depression, and other life changes. Natalie also has experience supporting people who live with disabilities.

Natalie focuses on clear, practical conversation. She listens for what matters most to the person in front of her and helps shape a plan around their goals. Sessions aim to break large problems into manageable steps and to build everyday habits that fit a person’s life.

Her work pays attention to how past patterns show up now. That includes attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment worries, and difficulties like dissociation or avoidant personality traits. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image distress, and the emotional effects of divorce or separation.

Natalie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address depression, anxiety, and relationship strain. She uses language and exercises a person can use between sessions. The focus is on practical tools, clearer thinking, and small behavioral changes that add up over time.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Many clinicians trained to use evidence-based techniques draw on cognitive-behavioral methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with small behavioral experiments. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, guilt, and low self-esteem by teaching practical ways to change thinking and routine actions.

Other evidence-based techniques focus on attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current behavior. These methods help people recognize repeating relationship habits, practice new ways of relating, and reduce shame tied to attachment or abandonment experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.

The original biography did not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video or phone sessions are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from a workday. Licensed professionals and therapists use these practical benefits to help sessions integrate into everyday life without promising a particular service.
