About Norma
Norma Keech is a licensed social worker who uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anger, addiction, and trauma. She is an LMSW with ten years of experience and works with individuals who want practical tools and steady support in difficult moments. Norma focuses on short- and long-term goals.
She listens first, then helps people identify small, concrete steps to reduce overwhelm. Sessions often include skill-building for managing emotions, improving communication, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Her toolkit draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her pair thought-focused work with skills training and present-moment practices to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Norma also addresses patterns that show up across relationships and life roles.
She helps people untangle codependency, family of origin concerns, communication problems, and issues tied to addiction or domestic violence. Work may include building better boundaries and reducing impulsive reactions. Clients looking for help with grief, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, or LGBT-related stress can expect a straightforward, respectful approach.
Norma aims to make therapy feel usable by focusing on clear strategies and measurable progress. Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Norma is based in Michigan and provides services in English only.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's goals and perspective. In this approach the therapist prioritizes listening, reflects what the client shares, and helps shape goals that matter to the client. It is useful when someone wants a supportive space to sort through feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-life evidence. Sessions often include homework and skill practice to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or break cycles that feed addiction.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills into the work. It is practical for people who react quickly or struggle with impulsivity, and it pairs well with mindfulness practices to build steadier responses.
Norma treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. That way therapy can shift if something isn't working or if priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging can be used for brief updates or homework support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving schedules, or times when coming in person is difficult.
