Nathalie Donny, LMHC

Nathalie Donny is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, and the everyday stresses that can feel overwhelming. Nathalie works in English and French and draws on many years of practice to guide conversations and next steps.

Her approach is practical and client-centered. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people clarify what matters and change unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings as well as on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings.

Nathalie also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting pressures, career transitions, caregiver stress, and aging and geriatric issues. She combines coaching techniques with therapy when clients want help setting goals and taking steady steps toward them. Her work includes attention to attachment, abandonment concerns, and family of origin issues.

She emphasizes a nonjudgmental stance and practical tools. Conversations aim to increase self-awareness, build coping skills, and improve day-to-day functioning. Nathalie often helps clients practice mindfulness exercises and behavioral experiments during the work together.

Clients are guided to learn specific skills for managing emotion, reducing worry, and improving communication. For those dealing with trauma or abuse, sessions include careful pacing and stabilization before addressing painful memories. The overall focus is on realistic steps people can take to feel more in control and more connected to their goals.

Approaches to Online Therapy and How They Help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when life changes, caregiving demands, or persistent worry get in the way of what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; it uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness, which pairs well with work on stress and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Nathalie will work collaboratively to map out goals and try approaches that match those goals and personal preferences. If an approach does not fit, she adjusts the plan and focuses on what produces useful change for the individual.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering greater scheduling flexibility. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, which can help translate new habits into everyday routines. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to work well in remote sessions.
