About Norma
Norma Keech is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns including intimacy and communication problems.
Norma works with people who struggle with shame and guilt, codependency, and family-of-origin issues. She also addresses anger, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and problems related to substance use. Sessions are aimed at practical coping and clearer thinking rather than labels or judgments.
Her approach draws on client-centered therapy and evidence-based techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are used to build small, manageable changes.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to the person and then helps set short-term goals. People leave with concrete tools - for example, ways to manage urges, handle difficult conversations, or reduce shame-fueled behaviors. Progress is tracked in small steps that can fit into everyday life.
Norma works in English and sees people in Michigan. She does not work with international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site's online flow.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions
Norma uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's priorities. That means sessions begin with listening and understanding the immediate concerns, then shaping work around what the person names as most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and to practice different responses to stressful situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Norma will collaborate with the client to decide whether CBT, DBT skills, or mindfulness exercises suit their goals and preferences. She treats that decision as a shared, practical process and adjusts methods based on what helps most.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for different check-in styles such as brief video or phone conversations depending on what the platform supports. The focus is on making therapy workable within day-to-day routines rather than on prescribing any single format.
