About Norma
Norma Platt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Nevada with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Norma speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Norma focuses on practical, talk-based work. She helps people notice patterns that keep problems going and then tries out different ways of responding. Sessions involve clear goals, direct feedback, and steps to practice between meetings. She uses straightforward tools rather than vague theory.
Her clinical methods include cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness practices, hypnotherapy, and motivational interviewing. Norma explains what each approach does and helps people decide which fits best for the issue at hand. She uses mindfulness to reduce reactivity, CBT to change unhelpful thinking and habits, and motivational interviewing to build commitment to new behaviors.
Norma often addresses communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, immigration issues, and questions about life purpose and self-love. She also has experience working with people affected by domestic violence and helps them sort options and next steps. The focus is on clear, manageable changes that reduce daily distress.
To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Norma aims for practical progress people can notice in everyday life.
How sessions work
How Norma uses structured approaches online
Norma commonly combines cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness work in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety going. It is goal-oriented and often includes specific exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and noticing - it helps reduce impulsive reactivity and gives people more space to choose how to act.She also uses hypnotherapy when clients are open to it; hypnotherapy involves focused relaxation and guided attention to shift habitual responses and support new ways of thinking. Norma discusses what each method involves and works with the person to pick approaches that suit their goals and comfort level. Choosing a method is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten a check-in, avoid travel time, or let people use a quiet room at home. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, assign practice tasks, and guide breathing or mindfulness practice through an online meeting to help with everyday anger and stress management.
