About Harvey

Harvey Norris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of experience. He aims to help people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, or trauma find clearer ways forward. Harvey presents a calm, respectful approach and starts by listening to where each person is right now.

He uses common-sense language and practical work in sessions. Harvey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, narrative ideas, and psychodynamic perspectives to match the work to each person's needs.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on manageable steps, skills practice, and talking through difficult memories or feelings. Harvey has long experience with trauma-related issues and post-traumatic stress. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, substance concerns, domestic violence effects, and big life changes.

He pays attention to how life events and relationships shape mood and behavior. People who meet with him can expect a straightforward, person-centered tone. He encourages dignity and tries to avoid stigmatizing labels.

The work is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as recovery progresses. Outside of practice he lives in Louisiana with his family and a small terrier named Scruffy. He brings decades of practice to each session while keeping the conversation simple and focused on what matters to the person sitting across from him.

Approaches that translate to online work

CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it teaches concrete skills to change reactions. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication. It can help people manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive behaviors. EMDR works with distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing to reduce their hold on daily life; it is commonly used for trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Harvey collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and comfort level. He adjusts plans as progress is made so the approach stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction when that is most helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text sessions make it possible to check in more often and use brief written exchanges for coaching and skill practice. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into day-to-day life.
