How her approaches translate to online therapy
Norma blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in straightforward ways. Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to set goals and pace. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical strategies to change them. DBT adds skills for tolerating distress and managing strong emotions so daily functioning improves.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Norma will discuss goals and preferences and suggest techniques that match what the client wants to work on. Together they try methods and adjust based on what helps most for mood, relationships, sleep, or coping after trauma and stressful events.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedule or energy is limited. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises, behavioral homework, and skills coaching in the midst of everyday life, which helps translate therapy into real change.
