Natalie Norrell

Natalie Norrell is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who blends talk-based work with creative methods. She invites clients to use art and interaction with horses alongside conversation to find new ways of coping and moving forward.

Natalie draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to focus on present-day thinking and behavior. That approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She pairs that work with art-making and equine activities so clients can express themselves in nonverbal ways and practice new patterns outside words alone.

Many people come to Natalie for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma and abuse. She also supports people coping with major life changes, including divorce and separation, domestic violence, and challenges related to military service. Her practice addresses mood disorders and post-traumatic stress as well as concerns specific to women.

Clients can expect a straightforward, down-to-earth style. Natalie talks with people about their daily thinking and behavior, uses hands-on activities like art or time with horses, and helps set small, doable goals. The work aims to make changes that matter in everyday life rather than focus only on theory.

With 12 years of experience in Montana, Natalie offers a mix of creative and cognitive tools to help people find new strength. She guides practical steps for coping and rebuilding after loss or difficult transitions.

How cognitive and somatic tools work online

Many of Natalie’s methods translate into online work because they focus on present thinking and body awareness as well as creative expression. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions in everyday life. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and practical problem solving.

Somatic therapy emphasizes bodily signals and stress reactions. It teaches simple ways to notice tension, breathing patterns, and movement so people can regain a sense of control after trauma or chronic stress. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing past harmful events safely and building coping strategies for triggers and memories.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, needs, and preferences and try different techniques to see what helps. That shared decision-making guides whether more CBT work, somatic exercises, or trauma-focused interventions are emphasized.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt creative and somatic exercises for remote work, and Natalie will outline practical ways to use these methods based on what the client prefers.
