About Norma

Norma Platt is a Nevada-licensed LCSW with 12 years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, anger, and challenges with self-esteem. She also addresses communication problems, domestic violence concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, immigration-related issues, questions of life purpose, and building self-love.

Background and approach

Norma aims to meet each client where they are and tailors conversations and plans to the person’s priorities and circumstances. Her approach blends practical strategies and mind-body techniques, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside hypnotherapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to help clients build coping skills and shift unhelpful patterns.

Norma emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapeutic relationship and frames progress as a collaborative process. She encourages clients to take the courageous step toward greater well-being and offers steadiness and support throughout that work.

Norma conducts sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients, providing multiple online formats to accommodate differing schedules and preferences.

Evidence-informed approaches for online growth

Norma often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical method for anxiety, stress, and relationship patterns. She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support emotion regulation and self-awareness.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to share feedback so interventions remain aligned with what helps them most.

Online therapy with Norma is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it possible to continue therapeutic work from varied locations and to choose the format that best supports consistent engagement and practice between sessions.
