About Norene
Norene Vello is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience. She combines clinical counseling with a background in pastoral clinical counseling to help people working through grief, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and issues around self-esteem and shame.
She describes counseling as a practical, person-to-person process. Sessions include talking through what feels stuck, learning breathing and mindfulness skills, and using cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thinking. Norene has used assessments and goal-focused work to clarify strengths and next steps.
Norene has worked with people across a wide age span and has long experience leading small women's groups. Those groups used a mix of reflection, journaling, meditation, breathing, art, music, and discussion grounded in spiritual themes alongside cognitive methods. She has addressed depression, anxiety, self-destructive patterns, and issues arising from abuse in those settings.
Her counseling looks at the whole person - physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual. She speaks plainly about how early experiences shape feelings like guilt and shame and helps people name how those patterns affect everyday life. Sessions aim to make practical changes in thoughts and behavior while acknowledging spiritual concerns when clients raise them.
For people carrying guilt or shame about relationships, family, faith, or choices, Norene offers steady conversation, mindfulness practice, and cognitive tools to explore those feelings and consider different ways to respond.
How Norene’s approaches look in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes the client's perspective, clear reflection, and building trust so people can say what matters to them. This approach helps with issues that feel personal and confusing, like shame and relationship regret.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses structured steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. It includes short exercises and practical homework to test new thinking patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, guilt, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple breathing and attention practices to reduce reactivity and make choices from a clearer place.
Deciding which method to use is a shared process. The therapist will listen to a person's goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those aims. Adjustments happen along the way so the work stays relevant to daily life.
