Norma Peck , LCSW

Norma Peck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a master’s degree in social work and a long history of helping adults navigate difficult life challenges. She has worked in the social work field for three decades and has practiced as an LCSW for 18 years, bringing practical experience to work with issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, anger, trauma, grief, and sleep concerns.

Her clinical background includes nearly two decades of part-time work supporting parents of children with disabilities or developmental delays, addressing related anxiety, depression, guilt, and grief when those topics have been relevant. This experience contributes to a nuanced understanding of family dynamics, caregiver stress, and the emotional demands that accompany caregiving roles.

Norma draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods including solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral approaches, adapting her style to each person’s needs. She emphasizes strengths-based strategies, goal setting, and practical homework so clients can practice changes between sessions. Her approach centers on listening carefully, identifying realistic goals, and helping clients build skills to manage current problems as well as patterns rooted in the past.

Clients can expect a collaborative process in which Norma tailors interventions to individual circumstances and supports accountability in the change process. Her work spans a broad range of concerns from relationships and parenting to career transitions, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, guided by years of clinical practice and a commitment to client-centered care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Norma uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and managing anger or addictive behaviors. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, actionable steps and concrete goals to create change quickly; it suits people who want targeted strategies for current problems and clearer next steps.

Her work is also informed by client-centered principles that prioritize listening and tailoring the process to each person’s values and circumstances. Together these approaches allow a flexible, collaborative process in which the therapist and client decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to receive support from home or work. These formats allow ongoing contact between sessions and can help people maintain momentum while balancing daily responsibilities, making consistent therapeutic work more accessible for a range of lifestyles and needs.
