About Harvey
Harvey Norris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of experience. He focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns and offers a calm, straightforward presence for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life changes.
He uses a person-centered attitude that starts with where someone is now. Sessions aim to clarify what the client wants to change and then build practical steps to get there. The tone is warm and respectful, and he avoids stigmatizing labels.
Harvey draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing addresses traumatic memories when they are getting in the way of daily life.
His background includes long-term clinical work across a range of concerns such as trauma, addiction, grief, and intimacy-related issues. He has experience with military-related matters and post-traumatic stress and brings that experience into sessions when relevant to the client's goals.
Harvey lives in Louisiana with his wife and their family, and he mentions a pet terrier named Scruffy. He aims to partner with clients to set realistic goals and move forward at a pace that fits their life.
How these approaches translate to online work
Harvey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to guide work on thoughts, behavior, and past trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot thought patterns that lead to distress and practice different ways of thinking and acting. EMDR helps people process traumatic memories so those memories cause less disruption in daily life.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions and building better coping tools. DBT teaches concrete strategies like grounding, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods together in a collaborative way. Clients and therapist adjust pace and techniques as progress is made.
