About Norma
Norma Peck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a focus on practical, person-centered therapy. She uses clear, down-to-earth talk to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Norma draws on nearly two decades as an LCSW alongside long experience in social work to guide sessions.
Her approach centers on listening first and then tailoring work to each person’s needs. She often uses client-centered methods to explore strengths and goals.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral tools help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Norma also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, manageable goals. Homework and step-by-step plans are common parts of her work so progress can be tracked between sessions.
Mindfulness practices are added when helpful to reduce reactivity and increase calm. She has spent many years supporting adults facing addiction, anger, bipolar disorder, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and sleep problems. Her background includes long-term work with parents of children who have disabilities or developmental delays, addressing guilt, anxiety, and grief.
Norma prefers a practical style that asks what people want to change now and how to get there. Sessions are conversational but goal-oriented, with tools people can use in daily life. She works from Utah and offers services in English.
How Norma’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and working from the client’s own goals. Online sessions let Norma follow the person’s lead while checking in about what matters most and adjusting session pace or focus as needed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and change behaviors. In video or phone sessions she can introduce simple CBT exercises, set small behavioral experiments, and review progress together in the next meeting.
Mindfulness therapy uses short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These exercises can be coached live over video or guided in brief recorded or text prompts for practice between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Norma discusses goals and preferences and helps decide whether CBT, mindfulness, trauma-focused work, or a mix will be most helpful. The choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing of worksheets. Phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit brief questions, progress updates, or short skills practice between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
