Natasha Wagner is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. She combines practical coaching skills with counseling to help people manage anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions.

She brings a varied background to sessions.

She has taught young children, worked as a birth and postpartum doula, and spent five years providing counseling in long-term care facilities in Branch County, Michigan.

Natasha blends several therapy methods to fit each person’s needs. Her approach may include attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, Gottman Method strategies for relationships, and hypnotherapy or NLP-based coaching tools. She aims for warm, interactive sessions where clients set goals and try practical steps between meetings.

Much of her recent work has focused on multicultural issues and supporting people from diverse backgrounds. She is a certified diversity trainer with the National Coalition Building Institute and has extensive experience assisting international high school exchange students during their program year.

Natasha uses plain language to talk through problems and to reframe limiting beliefs. She stresses collaboration, helping people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and build routines that improve sleep, mood, and daily functioning. Her pronouns are she/her.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds. In practice this means looking at how current conflicts echo past connections and learning new ways to respond to close others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person’s goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns.

Choosing a method is often part of the early sessions. The therapist will work together with the client to decide what feels most useful given their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as new issues come up or as progress is made.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since current options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow people to use approaches like CBT worksheets, attachment-focused conversation, or guided hypnotherapy-style coaching from wherever they are, as long as the chosen format fits their daily routine and comfort.
