Background and approach
Sessions are interactive and tailored to each person’s goals. Her work includes support for depression, bipolar mood concerns, panic, post-traumatic stress, and sleep and eating struggles. She also addresses caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, impulsivity, and substance use concerns.
ADHD appears among the issues she lists as a focus area. Norma aims to create a respectful and patient space. She listens without judgment and highlights a person’s strengths.
Practical coping skills, self-care strategies, and small achievable goals are common parts of her sessions. People often come for help with life transitions, grief, career choices, or problems that interfere with daily functioning. Norma supports exploration of values, motivation, and coping plans so individuals can move toward clearer purpose and improved day-to-day functioning.
How Norma Uses Practical Approaches Online
Norma uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that hold them back. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them in real life, and trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, or impulsive actions.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their own reasons for change. This method focuses on listening, reflecting, and drawing out a person’s motivation so they can move from ambivalence to action, which can be useful for addiction, lifestyle shifts, or habit change.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Norma will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made, with an emphasis on achievable steps and practical skills.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or cameras are unavailable. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or a way to get support between longer sessions. These formats make it possible to fit counseling into work, caregiving, or busy days.
