Natalie Knight, LCSW

Natalie Knight is an LCSW who centers therapy on the relationship between client and therapist. She invites people to notice what needs attention and to work through emotions that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on helping people let go of old habits and make space for healthier ways of living.

Natalie uses a person-centered approach that treats the client as the expert on their own life. She listens closely and reflects back what she hears to help clients find their own answers. This style is practical and supportive, aimed at helping people feel heard and more able to act on what matters to them.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. Natalie helps people identify specific thoughts and routines that feed anxiety, low mood, or addictive behaviors, and she works with them to try new responses that lead to different outcomes.

For clients carrying trauma, she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, to address memories and beliefs tied to painful experiences. EMDR is used alongside other approaches to reduce the hold of past events and allow forward movement.

With 13 years of experience, Natalie has supported people facing stress, grief, depression, ADHD, career shifts, caregiving strain, cancer-related concerns, and end-of-life issues. She also works with those navigating identity questions, LGBT concerns, and young adult challenges. Her practice is based in Arizona and she offers sessions in English, including for some international clients.

How these therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping the person find their own answers. Online sessions can preserve this by giving space to speak, to notice feelings, and to try out new ways of making choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and uses simple exercises to try different responses. Online meetings can support learning those skills and checking progress between sessions.

Natalie treats trauma with EMDR alongside other approaches. EMDR aims to reduce the hold of painful memories and the beliefs that come with them, and it is typically used as part of a paced plan that includes grounding and stabilization work as needed. When done online, the therapist and client plan sessions so the work moves at a comfortable speed and follows the client’s needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, symptoms, and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback about what helps and what does not so the plan can be adjusted together.

The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Therapists help match session length and pacing to real-life routines so care can be practical and sustainable.
