Nat Pacini

Nat Pacini, LPA, is a Texas-based clinician with 35 years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship and parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, career transition, and compassion fatigue. His background also includes work with aging and geriatric issues, personality-related concerns, caregiver stress, dissociation, eating-related issues, loneliness, and end-of-life matters.

Pacini emphasizes a clear, respectful process that begins with mutual understanding of the presenting problem. He favors direct, jargon-free communication and a collaborative effort to define what makes a situation difficult. That shared clarity is used to shape practical steps and negotiated tasks that fit the client’s comfort and daily life.

He integrates client-centered principles with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. Pacini trained at the University of Texas at Austin and earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from the University of Houston-Clear Lake in 1986. He spent over two decades as an Associate Clinical Psychologist in an in-patient setting and structures work on a month-to-month basis, often using frequent messaging alongside scheduled sessions to support ongoing progress.
