Natalie Scott , LPC

Natalie Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing with 16 years of clinical experience. She has worked in both South Carolina and Washington State and has focused her practice on treating substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and grief, and life and career transitions.

Natalie favors a client-centered style that emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s goals. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing alongside mindfulness-informed skills, and she has experience with dialectical behavioral therapy as part of a varied clinical toolkit. Her work includes individual, couples, family, and group therapy, addressing issues such as addiction, intimacy and commitment difficulties, communication problems, codependency, compassion fatigue, and the complexities of blended families.

Her approach combines practical skill-building with supportive listening to help clients develop coping strategies and navigate significant life changes. Natalie frames therapy as a process that benefits from active engagement - she aims to provide tools and guidance while supporting clients as they work toward their stated goals.

Therapeutic approaches Natalie uses for online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a collaborative pace that lets the client guide the topics and pace of work. This approach can be especially useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-focused method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practice alternatives. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and improving daily coping strategies.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style designed to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change. It is often applied when clients face ambivalence about behavior change, including substance use or making difficult lifestyle adjustments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Natalie works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine the best fit based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress evolves.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier for clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage care from different locations, and maintain continuity of treatment despite life changes.
