More about Norma

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and in Louisiana with over 12 years of experience in individual and group therapy, primarily in crisis and trauma. I have worked with clients of varying diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, psychosis, as well as substance abuse and dual diagnosis. Most of my clients have been adults, but, in addition, I have over two years of experience working with families, including couples, parents, children, and chronically suicidal teens. I have used all kinds of creative interventions, including art, music, animal-assisted, Tai Chi, yoga, mindfulness, writing, and life narrative.

My primary goal is to help you identify, manage, and work through any emotional or behavioral problems that impede your quality of life. My role as a therapist is not to judge, but rather to listen and provide support while you work to face problems head-on. I will guide you to navigate to the root cause of your personal crisis, while learning valuable coping skills that will help you stabilize your mood and behaviors

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
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.

Norma is hands down an amazing person. She is so genuine and kind. Every session I have with Norma I feel like she cares so much about what I’m going through and tries to understand me better in order to help me. She is so thoughtful and always makes me feel encouraged. After each session, I feel better than when I started because of her. She always answers my texts promptly and is always willing to change meeting times in order to fit with my schedule. She is always on time and very communicative with scheduling. I would recommend Norma to anyone, especially young women sorting through the details of life. She is so easy to talk to and has such a great personality. I feel comfortable telling her information that no one else even knows about me and she always responds well. I love Norma and I’m so thankful I have her.
