More about Norma

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients address challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. I bring a compassionate and structured approach to therapy, particularly supporting adults and those seeking a respectful therapeutic environment.

My expertise centers on addressing issues like social anxiety, isolation, relationship issues, self-love, and healing from past traumas. I'm deeply committed to helping clients work through guilt, shame, attachment challenges, and personal growth obstacles. My therapeutic approach emphasizes understanding individual experiences, developing healthy communication strategies, and supporting clients in rediscovering their sense of purpose and emotional well-being.

I create a supportive space where clients can explore their inner world, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. Whether you're experiencing life transitions, struggling with interpersonal challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
