About Norma
Norma Keech is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with ten years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and difficult relationships. Norma works directly with issues such as codependency, communication problems, shame and guilt, and substance use challenges.
In sessions she uses clear, practical methods. Conversations focus on current problems and skills to manage them. Norma draws from client-centered work to listen and reflect, and from cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
She also uses dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation and mindfulness practices to help people slow down and notice what they are feeling. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and track small changes. These approaches come together to offer concrete tools rather than abstract theories.
Norma pays attention to family of origin patterns, control issues, and the fallout from domestic violence or sexual assault when those are part of a person’s story. She helps people who struggle with impulsivity, anger, or difficulties around intimacy to find clearer boundaries and healthier choices. Work can include coping strategies for grief, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Norma commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy online. Client-centered work involves listening closely and reflecting what the person says so they can clarify feelings and priorities. This helps when someone has trouble saying no or keeps putting others first. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thought patterns and behaviors and tests small changes to reduce anxiety or unhelpful reactions.She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy ideas for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-style skills teach concrete steps for handling intense emotions and improving interactions with others. These methods are practical and can be practiced between sessions, which many people find helpful when managing codependent habits.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Norma will discuss your goals, try techniques, and adjust what she uses based on what helps you make steady, manageable changes. The aim is to pick methods that fit your needs and daily life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists can recommend exercises and homework that slot into work breaks, parenting schedules, or recovery routines.
