About Norma
Norma Keech is a licensed clinical social worker who combines practical, evidence-based methods with a warm, person-focused stance to support people facing a wide range of life challenges.
Background and approach
With 10 years of experience practicing in Michigan and an LMSW credential, she uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop clearer coping strategies.
Her work covers common concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD, grief, intimacy-related struggles, and career or parenting pressures. Norma also addresses related themes including codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues, domestic violence, substance use, guilt and shame, and healing after sexual assault and abuse.
She aims to help clients increase self-understanding, manage impulses, and build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Norma frames therapy as a collaborative process that balances practical skill-building with compassionate support.
She offers a variety of online session formats to fit different schedules, and guides each person toward tools and perspectives that match their goals and readiness for change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques and practical exercises; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing impulses. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s perspective and values empathic listening and acceptance to foster self-exploration and emotional processing; this approach supports healing from trauma, relationship difficulties, and self-worth concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive actions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Norma will collaborate with each client to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and current needs, and she adjusts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or transportation limits. These formats make regular engagement easier and allow therapists to use the same skill-building exercises, mindfulness practices, and behavior-focused tools as in-person care, while tailoring pacing and communication style to what works best for each client.
