About Bree

Bree Normandin is a licensed counselor who aims to help people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical support. She focuses on reducing anxiety, easing burnout, and interrupting repeating patterns that cause distress. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with simple tools clients can use between meetings.

In the first sessions Bree listens to what matters most and helps clarify priorities. She uses clear strategies to build emotional regulation and coping skills.

Background and approach

The work often centers on small, manageable changes that add up over time. Bree draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based choices and living with uncomfortable feelings. Attachment-Based work looks at how relationships shape emotions and patterns. Her background includes licensure as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

She has four years of professional experience and practices in North Carolina. Sessions are offered in English. Therapy is provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility for different schedules.

Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, low mood, or avoidance get in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect emotions and behavior and can be useful when relational patterns or attachment concerns influence daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose and adjust methods so the plan fits the person’s life and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving. They also allow follow-up between appointments and different ways to stay connected when life gets busy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
