About Natalie
Natalie Bouffard-Lewis is a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns, coping with life changes, ADHD, grief, depression, and issues tied to family of origin and attachment. Natalie frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on practical goals and clearer ways of relating.
In sessions she helps people identify patterns that keep causing the same problems. She uses talk, reflective questions, and structured techniques to try out new ways of thinking and interacting. That can mean breaking down anxious thoughts, practicing emotional regulation skills, or examining how family roles from childhood still influence current choices.
Natalie draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) supports changes in thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are used to look at personal stories and recurring relationship patterns.
She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help with attention, sleep, and stress. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings, plus ways to evaluate whether those steps are helping. The aim is steady, practical change rather than quick fixes.
People seeking help with family of origin issues, attachment struggles, codependency, blended family challenges, or abandonment concerns may find this approach useful. Natalie works in English and practices in Texas.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include setting concrete goals, practicing new skills during the week, and reviewing results together. This approach is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and depressive thinking.DBT provides tools for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. In remote sessions those skills can be taught and practiced through coaching, role play, and structured worksheets that the therapist and client review together. DBT techniques can support relationship and anger-related concerns.
Natalie treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and adjust the plan over time. Clients and therapist work together to pick techniques and check whether they are helping.
