Natasha Deshommes

Natasha Deshommes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience. She is based in Rhode Island and works with adults facing family stress, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Natasha also addresses relationship and parenting concerns, career questions, trauma and abuse, and coaching for next steps.

Her way of working is direct and person-focused. She listens first, then helps people name what feels stuck. Conversations aim to make problems clearer and more manageable. Natasha uses straightforward tools rather than jargon so people can try things between sessions.

Natasha draws from client-centered therapy to center each person’s goals and from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot the thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy when those approaches fit the issue at hand. These methods are used to help with symptoms like anxiety and depression and practical issues such as parenting stress or career doubts.

She has worked with people affected by adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, first responder concerns, and immigration-related stress. Natasha also supports clients dealing with eating and body-image issues, codependency, guilt and shame, and end-of-life or hospice related concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. Natasha asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session so she can learn what matters most and begin planning next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Natasha commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on the client’s own goals and perspectives and helps people clarify what matters most to them. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them. These approaches can help with anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship problems, and career uncertainty.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Natasha will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and make a collaborative plan. That plan can draw on client-centered listening, CBT skill-building, and other methods she uses when they seem helpful for the situation.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they balance work, family, and other responsibilities.
