Therapeutic approaches and online care with Norma Deering
Norma incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify personal values and learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility and purposeful behavior.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical skills for changing thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often applied to stress, mood concerns, and coping with life changes through structured techniques and skill-building.
Norma brings a client-centered approach as well, creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where clients guide the pace and focus of work. This approach supports exploration of identity, self-esteem, and relationship concerns while the therapist follows the client’s lead.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Norma works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer practical flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to access care from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support, skill practice, and collaborative planning in ways that meet clients where they are and accommodate changing needs.
