About David
David Norton is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with 40 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and problems with intimacy. He speaks English and accepts international clients for remote work.
David uses a straightforward style in sessions. He listens closely, helps people put words to hard feelings, and works with them to build practical skills for daily life. Sessions are rooted in evidence-based techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and restoring a sense of control.
How David works
Topics he often addresses include panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, body image concerns, guilt and shame, and the fallout of divorce or separation. He also supports people facing isolation, low self-esteem, and questions about life purpose. Conversations tend to focus on what’s happening now and what steps can help next.
David offers faith-sensitive counseling when clients want spiritual perspectives included. He adapts his approach to each person’s background and beliefs, and he emphasizes collaboration in setting goals. The tone in sessions is respectful and direct, with attention paid to practical change.
Remote formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability, so prospective clients can find a good fit before beginning work.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Some common evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful thought patterns and reducing symptoms through skill practice. Cognitive methods teach people to notice and test automatic thoughts, then replace them with more balanced thinking to ease anxiety and depression.Another helpful approach centers on gradual exposure and coping strategies for panic, phobias, and post-traumatic stress. This involves controlled steps to face fears, paired with breathing and grounding skills to reduce overwhelm during panic attacks or flashbacks.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Together you can adjust methods over time until you find what works best for your situation.
Online therapy lets people meet by video call, use the phone, or message by live chat and text. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversations, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can be good for quick check-ins or brief skill practice. These options make it easier to fit work into a busy day and to keep up with therapy between meetings.
