Background and approach

Norma has long experience helping people dealing with illness, disability, and caregiving burnout. That includes support for those coping with a cancer diagnosis, dementia or Alzheimer’s in a loved one, or adjusting after an accident or new disability. She also helps with grief, trauma, and intimacy-related worries.

She brings several therapeutic approaches into sessions to match the person in front of her. Tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy are used alongside client-centered listening and other emotion-focused work. Practical strategies and emotional processing are both part of the process.

Norma also addresses concerns tied to relationships, communication, addictions, and career stress. She is available for people affected by current events or political stress that contribute to anxiety. Conversations can be in Spanish when preferred.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep trouble.

Choosing the right approach is part of the first sessions. Norma works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and comfort level. She mixes skill-building and emotion-focused work so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing one method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you work face-to-face; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited; short text or chat messages are useful for quick check-ins and between-session support. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and keep progress moving forward even when schedules are tight.
