About Norma
Norma Peck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses practical, person-focused methods to help people cope with life’s challenges. She leans on client-centered work to make sure each session fits the individual's needs. Norma mixes cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused tools to address immediate problems and set achievable goals.
She has 18 years as an LCSW and practices in Utah, speaking English. She has long experience supporting adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and addictions.
Background and approach
Norma also has substantial part-time work helping parents of children with disabilities or developmental delays. That work often included addressing parental anxiety, guilt, grief, and coping strategies when those issues came up. In sessions she focuses on listening, clarifying goals, and using straightforward strategies you can try between meetings.
She often gives practical tasks or homework to help people practice new skills and track progress. Norma aims for a collaborative approach where the person sets priorities and she helps develop steps to reach them. Her background includes work across a wide range of concerns such as sleep problems, parenting stress, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, postpartum depression, and caregiver stress.
She adapts her style to each person and combines strengths-based thinking with evidence-informed tools like cognitive behavioral therapy. Norma emphasizes small, concrete changes that build over time. She encourages people to notice what works, adjust when needed, and take responsibility for the next steps.
Her practice in Utah is grounded in steady experience and a practical focus on problem solving.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and letting the person lead the conversation. Online sessions using this approach give space for people to say what matters most and for the therapist to reflect back and clarify goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and patterns with practical exercises. In online sessions CBT often includes short skill practice, tracking thoughts and behaviors, and homework that can be reviewed between meetings to track progress.
Trauma-focused therapy helps people process past events and reduce their impact on daily life. When offered remotely, it combines careful pacing, grounding techniques, and repeated skill rehearsal to help the person feel more stable over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person's needs, goals, and comfort with online work. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work between appointments, and choose the format that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can use these formats to guide goal setting, share exercises, and follow up on progress.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
