More about Chiralaine
- 18 years' experience

- LCPC
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and have over 15 years of experience in the behavioral healthcare field. Over the years, I have served as a Mental Health Therapist, Child Welfare Supervisor, School Counselor, and Crisis Screener/Therapist.
I am experienced with the adults, adolescents, children and families who struggle with adjustment issues, depression, mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, dual diagnosis, and chronic mental illness. Finally, I have been trained in a number of therapeutic evidenced-based practices that I use when working with clients; including but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Experiential Therapy, and Stress Management/Mindfulness.
I believe in providing goal-directed treatment. This means that a goal or several goals are established after a thorough assessment. All treatment is then planned with the goal in mind and progress is made toward the goal in a time-efficient manner.
I use a collaborative approach and supportive stance when working with clients and clients tell me that I am easy for them to talk to. I assume you wish to begin therapy because you desire certain changes in your life. I will do my best to help you achieve your goals, but I cannot guarantee any particular results. You are likely to gain the most benefit from counseling if you are committed to the process and actively engage. You and I will agree upon a frequency that will work best for your needs.
I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s great
Chiralaine is an amazing counsellor. I didn’t think I was looking for a new long term counsellor until being matched with her! She is incredibly compassionate and knowledgeable and is helping me to challenge my anxious mind:)
Chiralaine is a very kind, understanding therapist. She really tries to help me understand my emotions and feelings and is very attentive to details talked about in previous therapy sessions.
Excellent listener and motivator.
I had Thearpy session with her but in that one Thearpy she was great. She is very understanding and knowledgeable. She keeps checking up on me to see how I am doing through message. Extremely professional. Overall she is understanding and great!
Chiralaine has a very flexible approach to therapy, she does not use a “one size fits all” therapy approach with her patients. She is very knowledgeable and understanding of different cultures and how that might affect her patients. She’s a great listener and has a lot of experience in this field.
She is amazing. Truly. i have never been more satisfied with a therapist. Even when i had to cancel my account for a brief moment, she still continued to reach out to me and check up on me. I recommend her to everyone!!!
She is helping me work through my issues
Chiralaine really puts me at ease so I am comfortable sharing my daily life experience. She validates my concerns and offers sound advice and solutions. I really appreciate her allowing me a safe space to vent.
Chiralaine is great! I always feel better after having sessions with her. I’ve been talking to her for 2 weeks but I am able to talk to her freely about what’s going on with me and my anxiety.
She’s a very great listener, and doesn’t judge and responds to you like a friend
Down to earth and very insightful. Wouldn’t want anyone else to be my therapist
Chiralaine has been just what I needed! I was hoping to find a therapist that would listen, understand, and provide strong honest feedback and not just tell me what I want to hear. She is straightforward, very knowledgeable and has been tremendously helpful to me already after only just a few sessions. We jumped right into my issues at the start of our first session and she gave me great advise that made a huge difference in the anxiety I was dealing with. I really enjoy our conversations and appreciate her help. I will be honest I was not sure what to expect with the Better Help format but so far I’ve been very impressed and blown away. I am so thankful I found Better Help and even more thankful that I was matched with Chiralaine.
She lets me ramble when I need to just talk and get the poison out of my system, but also answers questions about psychology and other brain science. She never winds me up, only calms me, doesn’t judge me.
Love her!!! She is the best!
I have been talking with Chiral for one year. She is compassionate, open-minded and professional. Her input helped me to get out of my suffering, build heathy boundaries, and unwind my limits which caused feeling of shame and guilty. Words are not enough to express how great she is and how much my appreciation to her. I am so lucky to meet Chiral.
Chiralaine is wonderful. You can tell she has a genuine passion for helping others and cares about her clients. She’s very attentive and responsive.
Chiralaine is great, never pushy or judgey.
Chiralaine Natschke is very supportive and understanding. We communicate mostly via email and sometimes by live chat. I can send an email and know I will get a reply in a fairly short amount of time. It has been helpful to unload and receive suggestions on what to do next. It's helpful to be able to unload with an objective listener as needed.
She’s a blessing
Chiralaine is a great therapist! She responds to me in a very quick manner and gives great advice! She has always made me feel heard and helps me work through my issues. She gave me some worksheets to complete, which make me feel more comfortable and confident with how to approach issues going forward. I really love how she responds to my journal entries and checks up on me. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Chiralaine!
She is professional, and understanding

I love her!!! She really helped me find better ways to cope with my emotions and problems
She is fantastic, she's not just a sounding board she contributes with real actionable items. Her advise, suggestions, homework have all been beneficial in some way. She relates and shares her own experiences, I really appreciate that. I know she's listening because I be all over the place in our sessions and she's always right there with me following along, I love that! I highly recommend her!!
Chiralaine has been an amazing therapist. She has helped me with so much. By far the best experience I’ve had with a therapist.
I am so grateful to have Chiralaine as a counselor. I feel seen, heard, validated and understood. She helps me celebrate myself and my growth, and keeps track of my progress and patterns while gently and consistently encouraging me to trust and love myself. I highly recommend her as a counselor!
Chiralaine is wonderful! She is very responsive and offers objective, non-judgmental advice. She genuinely cares!
Chiralaine seems to be a quick study of her clients, and gets right to the main issues. She also has a genuine manner of speaking.
I stared with Chiralaine feeling pretty lost, overwhelmed and just not myself. She helped me reframe how I see things, and realize where I was holding too tightly. She even helped me think through a workshop on stress and burnout that I was hosting for my team.
Chiral has a calm, wise, and understanding energy that makes it really easy to open up to her. She provides great advice and makes you see a situation from a better and more realistic angle. Working with her Ive been able to rephrase my stressful thoughts into more realistic action based thoughts, develop effective communication by being confident to be vulnerable, and acceptance. Highly recommend Chiral!
She’s great! She listens but gives great feedback. I’ve said to her how I feel “crazy” and she reminds me that I’m not and these thoughts and feelings are normal. she’s very supportive and Im happy I am able to talk to her every week. Such a cool lady!
I’m so happy to have Chiralaine as my counselor. She truly helps me gain confidence in myself and validate my experiences. I love her!
This is my third week and it has been amazing. She doesn’t seem judgmental, she is very attentive and understanding. I look forward to my sessions with her. 1hour is a breeze
Chiralaine is great! She provides honest and welcome feedback and listens to your concerns without imposing. Highly recommend!
Chiralaine is a wonderful counselor. Thoughtful, respectful, kind and really listens to understand you. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Chiralaine has helped me work through a lot of things so I could move forward in life. She offered great tips and advice for my problems as well as listened carefully while helping to guide my thinking to unravel anything that would cause me distress. I feel so much better after our weekly meetings. She makes this site worth every penny.
At first I was nervous about talking to someone about my problems especially a stranger (no offense). I’ve actually really enjoyed talking with Chiralaine. Since talking with her I have noticed I have changed the way I handle negative situations. Which I have had a very hard time doing for a long time! It’s really nice to speak to someone without any negative judgment!
Chiraline has been a great help in realizing what is going on with me and working through how to improve things going forwards.
Charlene was extremely helpful during a very stressful time. She has been extremely helpful and flexible and is clearly committed to helping her clients.
So far Chiralaine has been wonderful. Very easy to speak with.
Chiralaine is very helpful and responds in a timely manner. Would recommend 100% of the time.
My sessions and communication with Chiralaine have been very helpful with processing and walking through the issues I’m currently dealing with. I’m very happy with the service and glad I decided to give it a try.
Chiralaine is a great listener and makes me feel like I’m taking to a friend instead of a provider.
