About Harvey
Harvey Norris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida and Louisiana with 35 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, grief, LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting and coaching. He also works with people facing cancer, chronic illness and pain, disaster-related coping, domestic violence, substance use, impulsivity, men’s issues, and veteran-related trauma.
Harvey uses straightforward, practical conversations to help clients sort priorities and take manageable steps. He draws on methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies to build coping skills. He also uses EMDR, narrative, and psychodynamic ideas when these approaches fit the person's needs.
Sessions focus on what the client wants to address first. Harvey aims to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression while improving daily functioning and decision making. He pays attention to life stressors such as work, relationships, health, and finances and helps people plan concrete next steps.
His experience includes work with trauma and military-related issues over many years. He frames difficult topics in plain language and avoids clinical labels that feel stigmatizing. The emphasis is on practical tools, reflective conversation, and step-by-step progress.
Outside clinical work he mentions a long-term marriage and a family life with five children and a terrier named Scruffy. That personal detail shapes his plainspoken approach and his focus on everyday struggles and responsibilities.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
CBT is a skills-based approach that looks at patterns of thought and behavior. In online sessions it can be used to practice homework, track reactions, and test small behavioral changes between meetings. DBT focuses on teaching concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be practiced in-session and reviewed afterward to build daily routines.EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with memory processing and can be adapted for remote work when clinically appropriate. It is often used for post-traumatic stress and intense trauma memories and involves guided attention and processing that the therapist monitors with the client.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps the client make steady progress.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, family, and medical appointments. It can allow for shorter check-ins, fewer commutes, and more consistent weekly meetings when that suits daily life. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic techniques online as in person, adapted to the client's circumstances.
