Approaches Norma names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Norma commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Norma will discuss goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit each person’s needs. The process is collaborative and paced to what the client wants to try.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera feels easier. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, or ongoing support between longer sessions.
