About Norma

Norma Robinson is a licensed professional counselor practicing in South Carolina who helps clients address a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and substance use.

Background and approach

With four years of clinical experience, she draws on therapeutic methods that emphasize practical skills and client motivation to support change. Her practice also addresses issues such as grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Her work blends cognitive behavioral strategies with motivational interviewing, shaping sessions around each person’s goals and strengths. She aims to create a warm, respectful, and interactive atmosphere that centers the client’s story and values.

Norma focuses on empowering people by building coping skills, enhancing self-care, and recognizing resilience already present in their lives. Norma has experience working with diverse cultural, religious, socioeconomic, and LGBTQ backgrounds and adapts her style to meet varied needs.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process where honesty and effort support progress, guiding clients toward practical steps for managing symptoms and moving toward greater well-being.

Integrating CBT and Motivational Interviewing in Online Care

Norma often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and reframe patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. CBT focuses on practical skill-building and structured techniques that help people test thoughts, develop coping strategies, and make measurable changes.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck, ambivalent, or uncertain about change. This approach centers on eliciting a person’s own reasons for change, strengthening internal motivation, and exploring readiness in a collaborative, respectful manner.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Norma views this as a team effort. She will work with clients to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what resonates and what produces progress, keeping treatment aligned with each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offerings include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home, while allowing the therapist and client to use evidence-informed methods in ways that fit daily life.
