About Natalie
Natalie Eden is a licensed counselor who focuses on practical help for parents and individuals feeling overwhelmed. She speaks plainly and aims to help people make decisions, manage stress, and handle everyday parenting pressures. Her approach centers on strengths and real-world problem solving so parents can feel more capable day to day.
She uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning rather than jargon. Natalie draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters to each person.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. Natalie brings 13 years of clinical experience, including independent practice work and time in an outpatient behavioral health clinic in downtown Chicago. She has a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and holds Illinois LCPC and Pennsylvania LPC licenses.
Her background includes coursework in addictions and motivational interviewing. In sessions she focuses on measurable steps - small changes that add up. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, grief, depression, coping with life changes, parenting strain, sleep trouble, and challenges with attention or mood.
She also helps people facing caregiver stress, codependency, or end-of-life caregiving decisions. Natalie offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions to fit different schedules. She works in English and practices from Illinois.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect people to her practice.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's priorities. The therapist offers space to talk things through and helps people find their own solutions, which is useful for parenting stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful habits. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It can be helpful for addictions, making parenting changes, or building new routines.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Natalie will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust as needed so the work fits a person’s needs and preferences. The aim is to collaborate on clear steps and small goals rather than assume one method from the start.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls make it possible to meet face to face when schedules are tight. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates between sessions or work through moments as they happen. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting duties, work, and travel while keeping the focus on useful, usable change.
