About Nora
Nora Church is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and LMHC with 10 years of clinical experience based in Oregon. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, addiction, parenting challenges, trauma and emotional abuse, and mood and anxiety concerns. Nora also addresses issues related to ADHD, relationship and intimacy matters, eating and sleep concerns, and career and self-esteem struggles.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Nora listens to each person’s story and helps identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps people can use between meetings.
Nora has experience supporting people affected by adoption and foster care, abandonment, blended family situations, caregiving stress, and aging-related concerns. She has worked in school-based and day-treatment settings and has supported parents managing disability, developmental, and intellectual challenges in a child.
Her work with grief started during graduate school when she completed a specialization in grief therapy, and she continues to use that background with people facing loss and life changes. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect while moving at a pace that fits the person.
In practical terms, Nora helps people sort problems into manageable steps, try small changes, and review what works. She frames therapy as a process of noticing thoughts and habits, testing alternatives, and adjusting the plan as needed.
How Nora uses CBT and attachment ideas in online work
Nora combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-based and client-centered ideas to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce distress and increase coping. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape emotional responses, which can help with intimacy and family concerns. Client-centered methods prioritize listening and following the person’s pace while building from their own goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nora discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time. She treats the selection of techniques as collaborative and reviews what helps most as sessions progress.
