Natalia Blevins-Conner, LPC

Natalia Blevins-Conner is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting struggles, and related life challenges. Natalia approaches clients with respect for their strengths and personal story. She believes each person knows their own life best and brings that knowledge into sessions. Natalia listens first and helps people identify practical steps they can try between meetings. Sessions often focus on skills for coping with strong emotions, improving communication, and breaking unhelpful patterns. Her work draws on approaches that combine talking, skills practice, and motivation. She helps people set realistic goals and track small changes that add up over time. For those managing addiction-related concerns, she emphasizes decision-making, relapse prevention thinking, and building daily supports. Natalia has worked in clinical settings over two decades and brings that breadth of experience to each meeting. She uses plain language and aims to make therapy feel understandable and manageable. She supports people through grief, relationship strains, mood changes, and chronic stress. People who choose her often want a straightforward, collaborative counselor who helps them move toward clearer goals. To begin, she encourages a simple first step: describe what is most pressing, and together set a plan for where to go next.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and following the person's priorities. In online sessions this means the therapist spends time understanding the client's story and builds goals from what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT typically includes identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors, and tracking small changes between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Those skills can be practiced in sessions and applied to addiction-related urges, anxiety spikes, or relationship conflicts. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require it. It can also let people practice skills in real time between meetings and use regular appointments to track progress and adjust plans as needed.
