About Norma

Norma Peck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah with 18 years as an LCSW and three decades in social work overall. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, and ADHD. Norma aims to create a focused space where a person feels heard and can start making practical changes.

She uses clear, goal-oriented work in sessions. Norma draws on client-centered principles to follow each person's needs and priorities.

Background and approach

She combines that with cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Norma also uses solution-focused techniques to set concrete steps toward change. She often works with clients to build short tasks or “homework” to practice new skills between sessions.

This keeps progress measurable and manageable for busy lives. Mindfulness and trauma-focused approaches inform her work when people need help with overwhelming memories or emotional reactivity. These tools are used gently and with attention to each person’s readiness.

She balances coping skills with problem-solving so clients can handle day-to-day demands while addressing deeper issues. Norma has substantial experience supporting parents of children with disabilities and developmental delays, focusing on the resulting anxiety, guilt, and grief. She brings a steady, practical style and adjusts her approach to match each person’s situation.

Her goal is to help people meet challenges and leave sessions with doable next steps.

How approach and online care work together

Norma commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to guide sessions by each person’s needs, focusing on listening and following what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk and decide priorities.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which breaks problems into clear parts: thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical tools for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood shifts by teaching skill-based strategies and small behavioral experiments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Norma will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then adapt methods over time. The process is collaborative so that techniques match what feels useful and realistic for each person.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing out thoughts helps clarify them.

These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or school commitments while using the same therapeutic tools as in-person care.
