How Norman works
Solution-Focused and Existential ideas help him keep sessions practical and tied to meaning and goals. Across 44 years of work in Colorado, he has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and grief. He also helps with relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and bipolar disorder.
His experience includes long-term practice with varied concerns. In sessions Dr. Dewhurst aims to empower people to take small, manageable steps.
He prefers clear, practical conversation rather than medical or technical language. This helps people try new ways of coping and notice change between meetings. He encourages a collaborative pace so people set the goals.
The process begins with an initial match and scheduling, and then the work unfolds according to each person's needs and rhythm.

Online support options
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Dr. Dewhurst often blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the person's priorities, helping them name strengths and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. From there he recommends a path and adjusts it as progress is made so care stays aligned with what the person needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text lets people check in between meetings, keep notes, or communicate when they prefer writing. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy schedules and different life demands.
