Norma Keech, LMSW - Therapist in Michigan

About Norma

Norma Keech is a licensed social worker who uses straightforward, practical therapy to help people manage stress and life changes. She holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker. Norma frames sessions so people can talk about what matters now and figure out clear next steps.

Norma draws on cognitive behavioral methods that look at thoughts and actions, plus client-centered listening that lets each person set the pace.

Background and approach

She also uses dialectical behavior techniques for strong emotions and solution-focused ideas when families or individuals want quicker changes. These approaches are mixed to match what each person needs. Common topics Norma addresses include anxiety, grief, addiction, trauma and issues with intimacy.

She also helps people facing anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career stress. Parenting and general family problems are part of her focus too. Norma has practiced for 10 years in Michigan and brings that experience into session planning.

Conversations aim to produce concrete tools - coping strategies, communication changes, or small behavior experiments. Sessions tend to be direct, with a practical goal in mind. People meet with Norma in English using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

International clients are not accepted. She offers therapy through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Norma uses a few core methods that translate well to remote care. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead, helping people feel understood and decide what they want to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and ease anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Norma will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they choose which methods to try first. Sessions are collaborative, so plans can shift as needs change or as certain techniques prove more useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to continue work between sessions. The range of formats supports different comfort levels and allows the therapist to use tools like brief skills coaching, homework, and step-by-step behavior changes while remaining flexible to each person’s life.

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.
