Norma emphasizes an individualized approach, meeting each person where they are and adjusting her style to match specific needs and goals. She values listening and creating collaborative plans that often include homework to support accountability and forward progress. Her work centers on helping people make meaningful changes and build coping strategies to face life’s unexpected challenges.

As an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker with graduate-level training in clinical practice - Norma combines clinical knowledge with a practical, solution-oriented focus to support clients through transitions and recovery. She looks forward to supporting those ready to take steps toward change.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Change

Norma uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical and often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or stress. She also employs Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on immediate goals and small, achievable steps to create change and build momentum when addressing current problems. Additionally, Norma incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles, creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment that emphasizes empathy and meeting clients where they are to explore values, motivation, and personal strengths.

Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process and Norma works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions as therapy progresses so the plan reflects the client’s priorities and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules, manage caregiving or work responsibilities, and access care from different locations. These options help sustain continuity of care and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support in ways that align with the client’s life.
