About Nathalie
Nathalie Contro is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California. She brings three years of experience as an LMFT and focuses on helping people find clearer ways to manage stress, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. Nathalie meets people where they are and aims to build practical skills for everyday life.
Her style is collaborative and warm. Sessions emphasize developing tools to cope with stress, improve communication, and address intimacy concerns. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar concerns, grief, and challenges around eating and sleeping.
Nathalie draws on several therapeutic approaches in sessions. She uses attachment-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centered ways to follow each person's priorities, and cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also integrates dialectical behavior ideas and Jungian-informed work when it fits the person's goals.
Work with Nathalie often includes practical exercises, reflection, and skill-building. Techniques may include exploring relationship patterns, practicing new communication moves, and noticing everyday thoughts and habits that affect mood and behavior. She may use imaginative work and breath-based practices as complementary tools.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Nathalie asks people to use the platform's Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions today. Online sessions using attachment ideas often focus on how people relate to others, improve closeness, and manage relationship stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and pace; the therapist follows priorities, listens closely, and reflects what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies everyday thoughts and habits that affect mood and behavior and teaches practical exercises to shift them.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nathalie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift and new skills are learned.
The original biography did not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. It also supports working on thought patterns and daily habits in the context of everyday life, so practical skills can be practiced between sessions.
