About Norma
Norma Keech is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and other emotional challenges. Norma speaks English and works with adults on concerns such as grief, anger, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, career changes, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach uses practical methods to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered techniques to focus on what is happening now and what can be changed next. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to teach skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Sessions typically involve noticing patterns, trying different responses, and building small routines that fit daily life. Norma pays attention to family of origin issues, codependency, communication problems, and control issues when those patterns affect current relationships. She also addresses substance use concerns and domestic violence histories with care and focus on safety and coping.
Clients can expect straightforward work on practical coping tools such as grounding, problem solving, and behavior experiments. She helps people work through guilt, shame, impulsivity, and difficulties with self-love and forgiveness. The aim is to create clear steps a person can try between sessions.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.
How Norma uses CBT, client-centered work and DBT online
Norma uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce stress and anxiety. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and emphasizes simple exercises people can try between sessions.She also uses client-centered techniques that focus on the person's goals and what they want to change. That approach keeps sessions practical and goal-oriented while letting the client set priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when strong emotions or impulsivity are a problem; DBT-based tools teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Norma will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the focus as progress is made and as new issues arise.
