About Lanorma

Lanorma Burrell is a licensed counselor with 19 years of clinical experience who practices in Nevada. She guides people through difficult transitions and persistent emotional challenges by combining practical strategies with a compassionate, person-centered stance.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and a broad range of life stressors such as grief, parenting difficulties, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Her therapeutic style emphasizes collaboration and respect for each client’s story, drawing on cognitive behavioral tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns while also using client-centered principles that honor individual values and lived experience.

Lanorma incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to strengthen emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and she draws on the Gottman Method when addressing relationship and communication difficulties. She balances practical skill-building with exploration of attachment, identity, and past wounds to support sustainable change.

Lanorma holds LCPC and LPC credentials (NV LCPC CP0258, OR LPC C4714) and provides care in English. She aims to help clients build resilience, clarify life purpose, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Lanorma uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties, and then teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. She also practices client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathy, acceptance, and validation so clients can explore their goals and values at their own pace. Additionally, she integrates dialectical behavior therapy strategies to strengthen emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when needed.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors interventions from these approaches to create a plan that fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Lanorma is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and allow clients to use methods that match their comfort level and communication style.
