About Natalie Branda
Natalie Branda is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 6 years of clinical experience supporting adults across the lifespan. She approaches each person as an individual, recognizing that life histories and needs vary, and she applies trauma-informed, empathetic strategies tailored to each client. As an LPC Natalie holds a state license to provide professional mental health care in Texas.
Natalie’s therapeutic style is warm, non-judgmental, occasionally humorous, and collaborative. She works from a person-centered perspective that empowers clients to be the experts of their own lives, and she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to address symptoms and build practical skills. Her work often includes psychoeducation and the co-creation of individualized goals that foster resilience and meaningful change.
In sessions she focuses on strengthening self-worth, cultivating awareness, and developing effective coping strategies for stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and other presenting concerns. Natalie helps clients identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and supports them in learning new, healthier responses.
Before beginning treatment, proof of identification is required by scheduling a live session or sending a photo of a government or school/work ID such as a driver’s license, passport, or ID card. The first session includes review and signing of a consent for treatment form and completion of an intake that gathers emergency contact information, background and logistical details, mental and physical health history, medication information if applicable, substance use history if applicable, history of abuse or trauma, and other relevant life stressors.
Natalie checks messages Monday through Friday and typically responds between 10 AM and 12 PM CST and again between 4 PM and 6 PM CST. She does not routinely check messages on weekends but will respond as soon as possible the following Monday. If a session needs to be rescheduled or canceled, she asks that clients provide at least one hour notice when possible. She is not currently accepting clients.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect for the client’s own experience and values the relationship as the foundation for change. In practice this means the therapist listens deeply and supports clients in clarifying their goals, building confidence, and making choices that fit their life context. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill-building; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and impulsivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Natalie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and new priorities emerge so that treatment remains relevant and useful. Licensed professionals guide this selection and tailor interventions to the individual.
Online therapy provides flexibility by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access support around work, family, and location constraints. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency in care, practice skills in real time, and fit therapy into busy schedules while working with a qualified therapist.
