About Harvey
Harvey Norris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship and intimacy concerns. He also supports those coping with chronic illness, cancer, and disasters. He works in Louisiana and sees international clients in English.
Harvey takes a person-centered, respectful approach. He aims to meet each person where they are and move at a pace that feels right for them. In sessions he focuses on practical steps people can try, and he avoids labels that feel stigmatizing.
His background includes long work with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and veteran and armed forces issues. That experience informs how he talks about recovery, coping, and resilience. He offers guidance for substance use, domestic violence aftermath, and other high-stress situations.
Harvey draws from a mix of therapies, including cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior strategies, EMDR, narrative methods, and psychodynamic ideas. He selects techniques to fit the person’s goals rather than insisting on one single method.
On a personal note he lives in Louisiana, has been married since 1994, and shares his home with a terrier named Scruffy. He aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can tackle difficult issues and take steps toward the life they want.
How therapy approaches shape online care
Harvey uses cognitive behavioral and EMDR approaches alongside dialectical behavior ideas. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. EMDR is a structured method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce the hold those memories have on daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, shorter check-ins between other commitments, and options that can fit into a busy day. Because the listed biography does not specify session formats, confirm current online and in-person options before booking. The focus is on making therapy fit daily life and on helping people apply skills and processing work where it matters most.
