About Natalie
Natalie Wingard, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and depression. He focuses on practical change and emotional recovery so people can feel steadier day to day. Natalie speaks plainly and meets people where they are in life.
With six years of experience, Natalie blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He uses a simple driving metaphor: the client is the driver and he rides along as a passenger. That means the client sets goals and makes decisions while he offers options, asks questions, and sometimes challenges unhelpful habits.
Natalie has particular experience supporting people with addictions, including pornography, substance, gambling, gaming, and social media-related problems. He also works with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, grief, and sex or relationship struggles. He aims to reduce shame and isolation and to build everyday coping skills.
His style is direct but warm. Sessions focus on concrete steps, clearer thinking, and noticing patterns that cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems cycling.
Natalie works with adults and is open to seeing individuals who are 15 or 16 years old. He practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. People who want to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy process on the site to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session.
