About Bree

Bree Normandin offers practical, collaborative therapy for adults who feel stuck by anxiety, burnout, unhelpful patterns, or overwhelming emotions. She helps clients identify what is keeping them from functioning well and develops tools to create lasting change.

Background and approach

Bree emphasizes learning concrete coping skills and building routines that support greater stability and confidence in daily life. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping.

Bree draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance-based and attachment-informed approaches to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Over four years of clinical practice she has developed a direct, compassionate style that balances structure with empathy.

Licensed in both South Carolina and North Carolina (SC LPC 9254, NC LCMHC 17330), Bree provides help for neurodivergent presentations, emotional regulation, and recovery from spiritual abuse using skill-based strategies and collaborative problem solving. She aims to support clients in finding clarity, more effective coping, and a renewed sense of purpose as they move forward.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Many clients benefit from focused, skills-based work that can be delivered effectively online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to develop practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and behavior change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements that work by helping people clarify values, practice acceptance of difficult internal experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and how early relationships influence current emotional responses, which can help with intimacy concerns and trauma recovery.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then blend methods that fit the situation rather than relying on a single technique. Clients are invited to give feedback and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer flexibility and access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity when schedules shift, and use different modes of communication for skills practice, check-ins, and ongoing support.
