It has been wonderful working with Scott.

Reviewed July 2024

I did not think Scott would be a good fit for me at first, he may not have the same lived experience as me, though he gave me insights and new perspectives. He gave me the courage to make difficult changes in my life, do what's good for me and come to terms with feelings I could not understand. Thanks to him I am far happier, with a better understanding of myself and those around me. He helped me recognise negative thoughts and feelings inside myself, allowing me and my father to repair and rebuild a stronger and better relationship than before. And I wish both you and him all the best going forward.

More about William

  • 20 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

My name is William Scott Natale. I have been a License Clinical Social Worker in FL since 2006. I have worked the most with clients who are coping with trauma and the result of poor or longer useful coping methods . For example, co-dependence, drug and alcohol abuse and self-harm behaviors. However, my focus with patients typically is built on communication style and following a trusted process for improved confidence and self esteem. Cognitive and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy is used most often in my practice with patients.

I am happy you are considering a more satisfying way of life. Believe me, it is my pleasure to help you do that. Together, we can look at disappointments, core beliefs that support dysfunction, and determine the best way out. All you that will be asked of you is to participate in therapy with the courage and open mindedness needed to be honest about what is getting in the way and be willing to cope with the discomfort that often is associated with learning something new. I will do the work to provide help to you, All you need to do is participate, and again it will be my pleasure.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Scott has been a great deal of help to me every week. I always look forward to speaking to him about all things and helps me put my issues or views into perspective.

Scott has given me the tools to be the person I want to be. Through assertiveness and self-care. It hasn't been easy finding a therapist, but I'm grateful for Scott. He's challenged me in ways that have made me grow. His way of listening is in a caring way and his examples would put things into perspective right away. I'd strongly recommend Scott, he's been incredible.
