About Nora

Nora Tellez is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 16 years of experience. She focuses on common and complex concerns parents often worry about, including stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and parenting challenges. Nora also works with issues tied to trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and mood concerns such as bipolar and seasonal affective disorder.

Her style is warm and supportive. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful, with time to talk through what feels most urgent.

Background and approach

She balances listening with practical steps clients can try between meetings. Nora uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions follow the client’s priorities and pace. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on method that looks at thoughts and behaviors and how to change them.

These approaches are applied to specific problems like anger, self-harm worries, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. She offers services in English and Spanish and works with a wide range of personal and family-related concerns. Nora provides a clear treatment plan tailored to each person’s needs and checks in on progress along the way.

Reaching out for help takes courage. Nora aims to encourage, support, and empower people through practical steps and steady guidance.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Nora uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities so sessions feel respectful and paced to individual needs. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and space to make decisions about next steps.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a more structured method that looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and practical coping skills for life changes.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Nora collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online care offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people talk face to face from home, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging provide flexibility for quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy family schedule and to stay connected when life gets complicated.

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.
