How Norma's approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead and prioritizes the issues the client brings up, whether that is grief, relationship strain, or mood symptoms.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and tolerating distress. DBT skills are often used for anger, impulsive reactions, and mood instability.
Norma will work collaboratively to find the best fit among these methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. She helps people try an approach, review how it’s working, and adjust course together when needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific formats are not listed in her biography. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or reduce travel time. Discuss scheduling needs and practical arrangements during the first visit to align sessions with everyday life.
