    About Norma

    Norma Beardwood is an LPC with 41 years of clinical experience who centers her work on the person in front of her. She uses Motivational Interviewing alongside client-centered methods to help people find practical steps forward. Norma listens closely, helps set realistic goals, and supports steady progress on day-to-day concerns.

    People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also addresses eating and body image concerns, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and the strain that life changes and caregiving can bring. Sessions focus on concrete skills and clear problem-solving rather than jargon.

    Her approach mixes familiar therapies so sessions are tailored to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness techniques help with emotional regulation and grounding when feelings run high.

    Norma emphasizes collaboration. She works with each person to set small, achievable steps and checks in on progress. Conversations aim to be direct and kind, and to build skills that fit into everyday life.

    She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. If a reader wants to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on the therapist's availability.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Norma integrates Motivational Interviewing and Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and on setting small, realistic steps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect so the person feels heard and understood. CBT looks at thoughts and actions and teaches concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. Norma will work together with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That decision is revisited as progress is made so sessions stay practical and relevant.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since session delivery is not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep appointments without travel. Many people find that talking by video or phone lets them practice new skills between sessions and apply strategies directly to daily life.
