    About Norma

    Norma Platt is a Nevada licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, and low self-esteem. She speaks English and Spanish and centers sessions on respect and sensitivity. Norma focuses on practical steps clients can use right away to feel steadier and more hopeful.

    She tailors conversations and plans to each person. Sessions are grounded in real goals like improving communication, managing strong emotions, and rebuilding self-love. Norma also addresses concerns such as domestic violence, immigration issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and finding life purpose.

    Her work draws on approaches like Motivational Interviewing to build motivation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name and shift unhelpful thoughts, and Mindfulness Therapy to strengthen present-moment coping. Hypnotherapy may be used as an additional tool when it fits a client’s goals and comfort level.

    Norma uses a down-to-earth style. She listens first and helps people set small, manageable steps. She will work with each person to create a treatment plan that reflects their needs and pace.

    For people unsure how to begin, Norma emphasizes that taking a first step takes courage. She supports clients through that early process and helps them move toward clearer choices and more consistent progress.

  2. Approaches that support change during online sessions

    Many clients find Motivational Interviewing useful when they want to strengthen their own reasons to change. This approach focuses on drawing out a person's values and goals and building small steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Hypnotherapy can be offered as a tool some clients choose to support relaxation and focus during work on habits or trauma-related symptoms.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Norma will explore goals, preferences, and needs together with each person and suggest which methods might fit best. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

    The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue regular work while accessing a licensed professional from other locations. Ask about available formats when you start the matching process so sessions can be scheduled in the way that works best for you.
