About Lanorma

Lanorma Burrell is a licensed counselor with nearly 19 years of clinical experience. She practices in Nevada and brings steady, practical support to people facing emotional strain. Her work is aimed at helping clients find tools to cope, communicate, and make clearer decisions.

Lanorma uses straightforward conversation and tailored strategies to help people move forward. She focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, and major life changes.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize building self-awareness and stronger communication skills. Lanorma also addresses challenges related to parenting, relationships, and mood regulation in day-to-day life. Her style is warm and client-centered.

She listens first, then offers techniques that fit each person’s needs. That might include skill practice, thought reframing, or mindfulness exercises depending on the problem at hand. Lanorma is trained in several evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical strategies.

She blends these with a focus on cultural context and practical problem solving. This helps clients apply new habits between sessions. Her credentials include Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor.

Lanorma works by setting clear goals and tracking progress together. The approach is collaborative and geared toward steady, tangible change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgement. It helps clients feel heard and guides them to find their own solutions for daily struggles and relationship challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and to build coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends acceptance with change and offers skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when repeated patterns cause conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and needs and will try methods that fit the person. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels manageable and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options allow people to work on skills and address concerns from home or during a busy schedule. Online formats can make it easier to maintain regular sessions and to practice new habits between appointments.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
