About Natasha
Natasha Deshommes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Rhode Island. She focuses on clear, practical help for people facing family strain, grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Natasha uses straightforward conversation to help clients find small changes that make daily life easier.
With eight years of clinical experience, she draws on approaches that fit each person's needs rather than a single method.
Background and approach
Sessions typically center on what matters most now - coping with loss, navigating relationship or parenting pressures, or handling work and caregiving stress. She also addresses adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, and immigration-related strain when they affect daily functioning. Narrative ideas and motivational interviewing often guide talks about values and next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools can help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when stress and emotions feel overwhelming. Natasha aims for a respectful, down-to-earth working style.
She listens first, then builds a plan together with clear, doable steps. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole to match client needs. People who want direct, practical support for life changes, caregiving burdens, family conflict, or recurring anxiety may find her approach useful.
Initial steps focus on pinpointing priorities and setting simple goals to test what helps.
Approach and online session options
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and guiding them to set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance in everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process with adjustments made as progress is observed.
Online therapy is offered through several formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - to make participation easier around busy schedules. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to keep up with over time.
