About Natalie

Natalie Ehrlich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting strains, and depression. She combines a warm, down-to-earth manner with straightforward tools so clients can feel heard and make steady progress. Her approach is conversational and collaborative, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.

Natalie earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and spent several years working in schools, residential programs, foster care, and outpatient mental health. She took time away from practice to raise three children and now brings that life experience back into her clinical work. That background informs her focus on parenting, adoption and foster care issues, and navigating life transitions.

In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals. Therapy is collaborative: Natalie works with each person to build realistic steps they can try between meetings.

Common topics she supports include communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, self-esteem, and finding life purpose. She also helps with mood disorders and challenges related to narcissism and self-love.

Natalie practices in California and offers services in English. She describes her style as practical, supportive, and grounded, where the aim is to help people feel more confident and steady in daily life.

How Natalie’s Approaches Shape Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete goals and quick steps that move someone toward what they want to see more of in life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Natalie will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Because specific session formats are not listed in the profile, confirm available online options before you book. Many people find online sessions fit into busy schedules more easily and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to schedule around caregiving or work commitments. Licensed professionals can still use the same CBT and solution-focused tools effectively in remote sessions, helping people practice skills and stay accountable between meetings.
