More about Norma
- 26 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I offer confidential, convenient telehealth therapy to teens and adults located throughout New York State. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, family conflict, school or work-related pressure, grief, and significant life transitions.
Whether you or your teen is feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the next step, I provide a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space to talk openly and feel understood.
My approach is collaborative, solution-focused, and tailored to each client’s individual needs. Together, we will explore the concerns affecting your well-being, identify unhelpful patterns, and develop practical strategies to help you cope more effectively.
I believe therapy should be a collaborative process. We will work together to clarify your goals, build on your strengths, and identify realistic steps toward meaningful change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
