About Norene
Norene Vello is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience. She holds a Master’s in Pastoral Clinical Counseling and has worked across a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and codependency.
She frames therapy around practical skills and reflective conversation. Sessions include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and mindfulness breathing exercises to help people manage stress and unhelpful thinking. She also uses assessments when helpful to clarify thinking and functioning.
Her work has included group facilitation with women for nearly two decades. Those groups used practices such as journaling, meditation, art, and music alongside CBT techniques to address issues like self-esteem, depression, abuse, and self-destructive patterns.
Norene attends to emotional, physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual needs. She writes that spiritual reflection and Biblical principles can be part of work for those who want that element. She stresses belonging, meaning, and purpose as threads in long-term wellbeing.
Sessions aim to reduce distress and increase everyday coping. Her stated goals include helping people find greater peace, health, and contentment. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In practice this means conversations that prioritize the client's concerns and build on their strengths to clarify goals and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online sessions using CBT typically include identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to see what changes feel different.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to breathing and present-moment awareness. Simple breathing exercises and short mindfulness practices are often used to reduce reactivity and manage stress during or between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approaches fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying an exercise for a few sessions and adjusting as progress is tracked.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include easier fitting of appointments into busy days and options for shorter check-ins when needed. Because the exact session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to practice CBT exercises or mindfulness between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion without promising a specific format.
