About Natasha
Natasha Deshommes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience. She practices from Rhode Island and works with adults on family concerns, parenting stress, grief, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and related issues. Natasha offers sessions in English and Haitian Creole.
She focuses on practical, conversational work. Sessions look like goal-focused talk where the client and therapist identify problems and try specific steps to address them. Conversations may include looking at thoughts and behaviors, learning new coping skills, and noticing patterns that come from family of origin or adoption and foster care experiences.
Natasha uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. That means she often invites people to tell their story, test small changes, and practice skills to manage stress or strong emotion. She brings these tools to concerns such as caregiving strain, blended family issues, codependency, and relationship communication problems.
She also supports people dealing with career stress, first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, immigration-related stress, and body image or eating-related struggles. Work with her can include short-term problem solving or longer-term work on patterns that cause repeated conflict.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session. The therapist and client then set practical goals and check progress over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client says, helping them feel understood and shaping sessions around their concerns. This can help with parenting stress, family conflicts, and self-esteem work by keeping the talk grounded in the client's priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means noticing patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and learning different ways to respond to anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) contributes skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing clearer communication.
Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques that fit the client's goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients can expect to set concrete goals and review progress together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continuing work through life transitions when attending in person is difficult.
