About Norma
Norma Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use, relationship strain, grief, and stress. Sessions address practical problems that affect daily life.
Norma focuses on uncovering patterns that keep people stuck. She helps clients recognize how family of origin issues and past relationships shape current behavior. Conversations look at how expectations, roles, and communication styles developed early on and still influence choices now.
Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral techniques and elements from dialectical behavior therapy. That means she listens first, then helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try different coping skills. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear when they fit the work.
Sessions can include problem-solving around sleep, parenting, work stress, and managing mood swings. Norma uses practical exercises, thought records, and skills practice rather than abstract theory. She may suggest writing, breathing practices, or short behavioral experiments between meetings.
Her background includes work with crisis and trauma, and experience with substance use and dual diagnosis. Norma’s practice aims to help people find clearer ways to handle triggers, set boundaries, and reduce patterns that cause repeated conflict or distress.
To begin, she asks for a brief intake so the two of you can set goals and choose which methods will be most useful. The focus is on steady, practical change that fits everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts your goals first and starts with listening. In online meetings this looks like checking immediate concerns, clarifying goals, and agreeing on steps to take between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online, that often involves using thought records, homework tasks, and brief experiments to try out different responses to stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Norma will discuss whether client-centered listening, CBT techniques, or DBT skills best match your needs. That choice is collaborative and can change as your goals evolve.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking to know what is offered. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit meetings into a workday, join from quieter surroundings, or use a shorter check-in when time is limited. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to keep momentum when life is busy.
