About Norma

Norma Beardwood brings a client-centered approach rooted in many years of practice to help people navigate stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions. Norma emphasizes collaboration and respect in the therapeutic relationship, working alongside clients to identify goals and develop practical coping skills.

Background and approach

With 41 years of experience as an LPC in Texas, she integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness and motivational techniques to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Her work covers a broad range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and body image concerns, bipolar disorder, anger, and challenges like compassion fatigue and career-related stress.

Norma also addresses family problems, communication difficulties, postpartum depression, and other women's issues, always focusing on helping clients build insight, resilience, and healthier patterns of coping. She provides services in English and is based in Texas, offering flexible session formats to fit different schedules.

Evidence-Based Approaches Available Online

Norma commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation during stressful times.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Norma approaches treatment collaboratively, listening to a client's concerns, goals, and preferences, and then recommending or combining methods that fit those needs. This collaborative process helps ensure the approach evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility constraints, or varying comfort with in-person care. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and engage in therapy from locations across Texas while working with licensed professionals.
