Norma Clark

Norma Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people handle overwhelming feelings and rebuild steady routines. Norma offers calm, direct support while people sort out hard problems like anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship strain.

She has a long background in individual and group therapy, with much of her work centered on crisis and trauma. Norma has helped people living with depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, psychosis, and substance use concerns. Her experience also includes guiding parents and working with teens in high-risk situations.

Norma uses a variety of practical tools in sessions. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's pace. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for emotion regulation. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to build awareness and momentum for change.

Sessions often include creative and experiential elements when appropriate. Norma has incorporated art, music, yoga, Tai Chi, writing, and animal-assisted ideas into therapeutic work. These options are used to help people express themselves and try new coping strategies.

Her aim is straightforward: identify what gets in the way, teach coping skills, and guide people toward clearer choices. Norma listens without judgment and helps people face problems directly while building more stable daily habits.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's lead, listening closely, and building a trusting working relationship. This helps when someone needs a gentle, paced process to talk through difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often suits people dealing with anxiety, depression, or problematic habits because it offers clear strategies to practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical tools for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviors. It can be useful for people who need step-by-step skills to stabilize mood and react differently in stressful moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Norma will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress and feedback shape what works best.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people engage from a comfortable setting. Ask about the available session formats to see which best fits your schedule and needs.
