About Norma
She trained as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and has practiced for 41 years. Norma draws from several approaches and adapts them to each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone. She listens closely, helps set realistic goals, and works with clients on skills they can use between sessions.
Her work often addresses deeper patterns from family of origin or past trauma alongside current life stressors. Norma mixes talking, problem-solving, and mindfulness exercises so clients can notice what helps in real time. She also supports people exploring body image, eating and food-related struggles, and issues around identity and intimacy.
Norma offers services in English and Spanish and sees people in Michigan. She accepts international clients. The session rhythm and tools are chosen together, with attention to what fits a person’s daily life and responsibilities.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their calendar. Norma emphasizes respectful collaboration and steady progress toward clearer relationships and greater satisfaction.
How Norma’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. Norma offers a supportive space where the client’s concerns guide the pace and topics of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between meetings to see steady improvement. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions that affect relationships and intimacy, and then tries new ways of responding to create safer connections.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Norma will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods gently, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to keep using and which to change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. Some formats also let sessions be shorter check-ins or focus on skill practice without requiring a commute. Norma aims to match session structure to everyday routines so therapeutic work fits into real life rather than adding extra strain.
