Natalie Ehrlich

Natalie Ehrlich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, and issues around self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, family difficulty, and women's issues. Natalie writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person.

She brings five years of clinical experience from schools, residential programs, foster care, and outpatient settings. After earning a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California, she took time away from clinical work to raise three children and returned with added life perspective.

Natalie uses a conversational and collaborative style in sessions. She focuses on practical steps that people can use between meetings. Sessions often involve setting clear goals, practicing new ways of thinking, and building stronger communication skills.

Her approach pulls from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix helps with managing anxious thoughts, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions or parenting strain.

People describe her manner as warm and down-to-earth. She aims to create a space where clients can be candid, feel heard, and work toward clearer choices and steadier emotions. Those looking for straightforward, goal-focused support will find a practical orientation in her work.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. It helps people feel understood and guides conversations toward the concerns they want to tackle. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, mood, and overthinking. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and on what will look different when things improve, which is useful for navigating transitions and setting goals.

Natalie approaches finding the right method as a collaborative process. She'll talk with each client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. The focus is on working together to choose strategies that match the client's needs and preferences.

If you want online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full visit is not needed. It can also make it easier to use practical tools and homework between meetings, so progress continues outside the session.
