How Norma Uses Collaborative Approaches Online

Norma combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy to help people facing stress and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns so goals come from the client. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce worry and improve daily routines. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to notice thoughts and calm strong emotions without getting overwhelmed.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Norma will review goals, challenges, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
