About me
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.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Chiralaine Natschke. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
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
She’sa good therapist
I really enjoy chatting with Chiralaine. She is considerate and emphatic and I always feel better after our sessions.
Chiralaine is a kind, compassionate therapist who listens without judgement.
She’s is so personable and informative
Chiralaine has gone above and beyond to check in on me. She provides so much support and has helped me so much.
Love that fact that she really listens and check in between sessions.
I always look forward to talking and venting with Chiralaine! Her voice is so kind and soothing, and her words are encouraging and supportive. Each session I feel like I accomplish something positive and hang up in a better mood with a clearer headspace and goals to work on! I definitely recommend her!
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!!
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 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.
