About Norma
Norma Keech is a licensed social worker with 10 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and ADHD. She uses clear, practical methods to help clients manage overwhelming feelings and day-to-day challenges. Norma offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what’s happening now and what they want to change.
Her work often focuses on communication problems, shame and guilt, and codependency. She also supports people dealing with substance use, domestic violence effects, and family of origin issues.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build skills that ease impulsivity and improve relationships over time. Norma draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s needs and priorities. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral tools to identify patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are added when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and track progress. That makes work feel practical and doable between sessions.
Norma helps people practice new habits and notice the small changes that add up. Norma holds an MI LMSW credential and works with adults in Michigan. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She supports clients coping with grief, intimacy issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the clinician, letting the client set the agenda and pace. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space to sort feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change patterns that cause distress.Norma blends these approaches so goals and tools fit the person’s life. She works collaboratively to pick methods that match a client’s needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Finding the right fit is part of the process, and clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow visual connection for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging can support shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life circumstances.
