Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Harvey Norris draws on several evidence-informed approaches to support people through difficult experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help people managing intense emotions or impulsive behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce the emotional impact of past events.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and to tailor methods that best fit the individual situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for busy schedules, geographic constraints, or when in-person meetings are not feasible. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent care, adapt session styles, and maintain ongoing contact so clients can work toward their goals in ways that suit their lives.
