About Harvey
Harvey Norris greets people with a calm, direct approach. He focuses on practical steps to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and cope with grief or loss. Harvey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of experience and offers straightforward support for addiction, trauma, depression, and intimacy-related concerns.
Harvey uses methods drawn from several clinical models to match each person’s needs. He aims to start where a person is and supports them in moving toward clearer goals.
How Harvey works
Sessions emphasize respectful conversation and realistic strategies rather than labels or jargon. Across decades in the field, Harvey has worked with people facing post-traumatic stress, military-related concerns, domestic violence, and substance use challenges. He also focuses on issues tied to chronic illness, cancer, and coping after disasters.
That breadth informs how he tailors treatment plans to everyday life demands. His approach blends skill-building and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can help when past events keep resurfacing. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are used to make sense of patterns that repeat over time. Outside of work Harvey mentions a long marriage and a lively household with five children and a terrier.
That personal detail shapes a plainspoken style in sessions. He communicates with warmth, expects effort, and helps people find workable changes that fit their real schedules.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Harvey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and some patterns of substance use. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships; it can help when feelings feel overwhelming or impulsive. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing offers a method for processing traumatic memories that can reduce how strongly past events intrude in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Harvey works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person's needs, goals, and comfort. He may combine elements from different models and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session or visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats offer flexibility for varied schedules and life demands.
