Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Norma draws on client-centered therapy to create a warm, collaborative environment where the client’s values and goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person’s perspective, and it can be especially helpful for building trust after trauma or when navigating relationship and identity concerns.
She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT provides practical tools for symptoms such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that maintain substance use or unhealthy coping strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another method Norma incorporates for clients who need skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can support people managing intense emotions, self-harm urges, or relationship instability.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Norma works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, test strategies, and adjust the plan so therapy fits personal goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
