About Harvey
Harvey Norris, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), is licensed in Florida and Louisiana and has 35 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, and coaching. He uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy to address these concerns.
Norris frames sessions around where the person currently is and what they want to accomplish. He prefers clear, direct conversation about symptoms and patterns. He discusses coping skills, emotion regulation, and ways to change unhelpful thinking. Practical work in sessions can include skill practice, reviewing past experiences, and making plans for daily life.
His background spans clinical settings and long-term practice with people affected by trauma, addiction, and military-related stress. That experience informs how he assesses safety, symptoms, and functioning. He has worked with grief, chronic illness, and issues tied to violence or disasters. This informs the focus he brings to problem solving and stabilization.
Norris also supports people facing cancer, chronic pain or disability, and the aftereffects of domestic violence or substance problems. He addresses impulsivity and men's issues alongside veteran and armed forces concerns. He names post-traumatic stress and recovery as areas he often addresses.
Outside clinical work he notes a long marriage and a large family life, and that a terrier called Scruffy shares the household. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often use short homework tasks and practice between meetings to reinforce new skills. It can help with anxiety, depression, and problems with daily functioning.EMDR uses bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall to address traumatic memories. In a remote setting, the therapist guides pacing and processing while the person stays in control of the session. EMDR is often used for post-traumatic stress and lingering trauma symptoms.
Finding the best approach is part of early work. The therapist and the client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process guides adjustments over time so sessions remain practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and pacing to remote meetings, helping people practice skills, process difficult material, and track progress without changing the core therapeutic work.
