Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Norma uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learn practical skills to manage anxiety, mood symptoms, and stress. This approach is action-oriented and often includes exercises to practice new ways of thinking and coping between sessions.

She also incorporates Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative style that helps people explore their own reasons for change and build readiness toward goals like reducing substance use, improving self-care, or addressing difficult behaviors. This method is especially useful when ambivalence or low motivation is a barrier to progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Norma works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy with Norma can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from a licensed professional when and where it fits into daily life.
