About Nathalie
Nathalie Contro is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She draws on three years of post-licensure clinical work and a longer personal history supporting people through relationship and emotional challenges. Nathalie speaks English and Spanish and meets people with a range of concerns including sleep problems and stress-related symptoms.
Nathalie aims for straightforward, compassionate sessions. She listens first, then helps people identify practical steps to manage anxiety, mood shifts, or struggles with addiction. Conversations focus on clearer communication, better coping skills, and rebuilding intimacy where it has been strained.
Her approach adapts to each person. Sessions may include discussing patterns from relationships, trying new communication techniques, and learning skills to reduce overwhelming feelings. She also uses exercises that draw on imagination and body awareness to deepen insight and calm the nervous system.
Nathalie names specific concerns she commonly helps with, such as depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures, and sleep difficulties. She also supports people with issues related to identity, attachment, and complex life changes. Work can include short-term tools and longer-term reflection depending on what a person needs.
Practical matters are simple to start. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can help identify these patterns, practice new ways of relating, and improve closeness and trust. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, offering empathic listening and validation so clients feel heard while they work through problems like anxiety or sleep disturbance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood or sleep.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions and adjust strategies over time.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy life by removing commute time and making scheduling easier. It also allows for short check-ins when full sessions are not needed, and options like audio-only can reduce bandwidth needs or screen time. The focus remains practical: making therapy reachable and suited to daily routines while exploring relationship patterns, coping skills, and sleep-related changes.
