About Norman
Dr. Norman (Norm) Dewhurst is a Colorado psychologist with 44 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and also assists people facing depression and life changes.
Norm uses straightforward conversation to identify practical steps a person can try. He treats problems like sleep trouble, anger, low self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career stress, trauma and bipolar concerns by focusing on what is happening now and what can change.
His approach begins by listening to each person’s story and strengths. He uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered, existential, and solution-focused ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on clear goals and small experiments to test different ways of responding.
People meet to talk through specific problems and identify doable strategies. Norm helps set short-term goals such as improving sleep, reducing anxious thinking, or managing mood shifts. The work often includes practicing new responses between meetings.
He asks practical questions about what’s working and what isn’t. Over time the focus shifts from immediate coping to maintaining changes that fit daily life. To start, readers are encouraged to use the site’s matching process and schedule an initial session to discuss priorities.
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Dewhurst often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through practical exercises, which can be reviewed during online meetings. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s priorities, helping people name what matters most and set achievable goals.Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. Early sessions often focus on concrete problems and short-term steps so both parties can see if the chosen strategies are helpful.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports doing practical homework between meetings and reviewing progress together in subsequent sessions.
