About Nora

Nora O'Connor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people navigating stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, LGBTQ+ concerns, disability-related challenges, life transitions, relationship dynamics, career exploration, and self-esteem development, drawing on a broad set of focus areas that include caregiving stress, adoption and foster care issues, codependency, domestic violence, trauma, guilt and shame, and mood disorders.

Her clinical practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed perspectives to help clients build practical skills and greater body-mind connection. Nora maintains a dedicated somatic practice that supports her ability to attend to embodied experiences and emotional regulation alongside traditional therapeutic techniques. As an LCSW - which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she combines evidence-based methods with a compassionate, client-centered stance to support people through change and recovery.

Whether addressing panic and trauma symptoms, working through relationship and sexual orientation questions, or managing career and financial stressors, Nora emphasizes collaboration, skill-building, and increased self-compassion to help clients move toward clearer purpose and improved coping.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and stress by teaching practical skills for changing reactions and building healthier habits. Somatic Therapy focuses on the connection between the body and emotions, using awareness of bodily sensations and movement to process trauma, regulate stress responses, and restore a sense of safety in the body. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental acceptance, which can reduce reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and support sustained coping with life changes.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Nora works with clients to weigh their needs, goals, and preferences and may integrate elements from different methods to create a personalized plan. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine skills-based work with body-centered practices to match what will be most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during relocations or life transitions, and access support from their chosen setting while working with a therapist who can tailor approaches to their situation.
