About Nataliya

Nataliya Novikova is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and questions around sexuality and self-esteem. She speaks English and Russian and welcomes clients who need help with life changes, relationship communication, and LGBT concerns. She focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Nataliya listens closely, helps identify small goals, and offers ways to reduce panic, steady mood swings, and ease overwhelming days.

Background and approach

Sessions are aimed at building confidence and clearer decision making rather than quick fixes. Her approach is collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and works from their strengths.

That means tailoring conversations and strategies to what actually fits a person’s day-to-day routine and schedule. Nataliya has worked across settings for nearly two decades, which gives her a wide practical base to draw from when addressing caregiver stress, workplace problems, or the fallout from separation and divorce.

She uses techniques known to help with trauma, shame, and guilt while keeping work focused on present goals. People who choose her often want steady support during big life transitions or help reducing panic attacks and persistent worry. She aims to make therapy understandable and usable, with tools that can be tried between appointments.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Nataliya lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Nataliya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and coping. One approach emphasizes teaching concrete strategies for anxiety and panic, such as paced breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and its effects by helping people make sense of difficult memories and reduce their hold on daily life through gradual, controlled work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and personal preferences and then suggest which techniques to try first. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and adjust the plan based on what is helping and what feels manageable.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use eye contact and visual cues, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited, short chats allow quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
