About Norma
Norma Deering is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 24 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Norma also supports people facing work-related distress, job-seeking challenges, and motivation problems.
She works with issues related to LGBT concerns and with people coping with grief, trauma, addiction, and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties. Norma helps caregivers and people living with chronic illness or disability navigate burnout and the emotional effects of a cancer diagnosis or dementia in a loved one. She also assists people after an accident or new disability to address anxiety and depression that can follow such life changes.
Norma uses straightforward conversation and practical plans in sessions. She adapts how she talks and what she suggests to each person's situation. That can include strategies to manage mood, skills for handling strong emotions, or problem-focused steps for work and daily life.
She draws on several therapeutic approaches to shape sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish for those who prefer to speak in Spanish.
Norma asks people to consider what matters most to them and to try manageable steps between meetings. The focus is on clear tools, coping strategies, and realistic next steps for day-to-day situations.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Norma will review your needs, goals, and preferences with you and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as you learn what helps most.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel for appointments. It also allows practical skill practice between meetings, such as implementing breathing or behavioral experiments during a regular day. If you prefer Spanish or English, indicate that when you schedule so language needs are matched up front.
