About David
David Norton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with 40 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, intimacy-related concerns, and questions about self-esteem and life purpose.
He often helps people who feel isolated, struggle with panic attacks, or are coping with the emotional fallout of divorce and separation. Guilt and shame are called out among his focus areas, and he will talk with clients about those heavy feelings alongside issues like body image and social anxiety.
His style is practical and straightforward. Sessions tend to focus on understanding what keeps difficult feelings alive and on learning clearer ways to respond to them. David describes his work as faith-sensitive, meaning he pays attention to a person’s spiritual background when it matters to them.
Over four decades he has worked with many patterns of distress and loss. That experience shapes how he listens and how he suggests ways to try differently in daily life. He explains tools and options in plain language so people can decide what fits.

Approaches used and how online sessions are handled
David describes his work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One approach focuses on identifying patterns that keep anxiety and panic active, then teaching concrete skills to reduce their intensity and frequency. Another approach targets trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people make sense of distressing memories and learn ways to manage intrusive reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. David works with each person to weigh their needs, goals, and preferences and to try methods that feel like a good fit. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the work together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for different rhythms such as shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when that helps. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency while they try out therapeutic approaches that address guilt, shame, anxiety, and trauma.
