Norma is great, she listens to me when I have things to say but also carries the conversation when I am not sure what to say. Also, she makes me think about a lot of things that I have not considered. Finally, she is very personable and I think she gets me.

More about Norma

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of South Carolina. I have 4 years experience working as a counselor and I have focused on aiding individuals of various cultures, religious beliefs, age groups, LGBT and socio-economic backgrounds. I have experience in stress and anger management, management of PTSD and anxiety issues, sexuality, sexual trauma, abuse and natural and man-made traumatic experiences. I have also aided individuals that have suffered from mood disorder and major depression disorder.

My counseling approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. I tend to tailor our treatment and sessions towards the specified needs and goals of the client. My counseling style is very warm, client-oriented and interactive. I work in a manner that is respectful, patient, non-judgmental, sensitive and re-affirming. I tend to seek to empower the client by recognizing his/her strengths and addressing their own copings skills and self-care management. I accept that everyone has their own story and I seek to provide an environment of encouragement and healing so that each person can find their own path to success and inner peace.

When it comes to our mental and emotional health, it is often very difficult to acknowledge that we might need more help that we had previously believed. During this particular journey, work and honesty with one's self is essential but very difficult. As a counselor, I am here to support and guide you as a you seek to begin to live your best life. Let's get started.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Thank goodness for Norma. Down to earth. Straight forward. Full of tidbits that relate to daily life. "Walk away." Yup. "You know you can walk away." This pertained to a specific person and event and was perfect - common sense and humor. There's more, this is just the one that my brain and body loved. So simple. Gentle reminders.

Norma is patient and tactful. Over the past few months I’ve been able to feel her compassion without feeling like the lines between therapist and client are being muddled. A good example of healthy boundaries with someone is what I really needed in my life. She’s good for responding to messages when they need to be responded to and is good about reaching out for extra calls/support. She has nvr gotten upset with my off-color jokes, she let’s me talk about what is in my mind as well. Norma is the first person who has ever taken the time to push me a little further (gently) and dig into me when I wasn’t feeling like giving much. I really love appreciate the work she puts into my therapy.
