About Norma Jean Salinas

Norma Jean Salinas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who brings an encouraging and empathetic presence to therapy. She earned a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from The University of Texas at Austin and a master’s degree in mental health counseling with "high distinction" from the University of the Southwest in Hobbs, New Mexico. As a mid-life career changer enjoying a second act, she has gathered broad clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of therapeutic settings.

Her therapeutic manner is warm, relaxed, and non-judgmental, and she may use humor when it fits the moment. Norma Jean prefers a client-centered approach that invites people to lead the work because clients are experts on their own lives. In practice she collaborates, gently guides, walks alongside clients, and creates space for personal exploration without forcing a path.

Norma Jean draws from an eclectic, integrative set of evidence-based theories and techniques to tailor treatment plans to each person’s goals and needs. This flexible approach is designed to provide practical tools and skills rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. She emphasizes building a strong therapeutic alliance as a foundation for change, and she welcomes the chance to support, encourage, and empower individuals ready to take the next step in their journey.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Norma Jean Salinas uses client-centered therapy to put the person’s priorities at the center of the work, inviting clients to guide goals while the therapist offers support, reflection, and validation - this approach is often helpful for building self-awareness, confidence, and a safe working relationship. She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. In addition, Norma Jean offers EMDR for clients coping with traumatic memories and post-traumatic stress; EMDR uses structured processing to help reduce the intensity of distress linked to past events.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Norma Jean will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan over time so the therapy aligns with what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life changes occur, and receive consistent support from therapists even when in-person visits are not practical.
