Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. It helps people feel understood and shapes the work around the client's goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Norma will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. The decision is collaborative and may combine different techniques as goals evolve.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to attend sessions from work, home, or while traveling and help fit therapy into busy lives.
