About Harvey
Harvey Norris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of experience. He offers straightforward, respectful care for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and parenting concerns. He speaks plain language and aims to meet each person where they are.
Harvey uses a blend of approaches to match what an individual needs. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and emotion regulation.
Background and approach
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is part of his toolkit for working through traumatic memories when appropriate. Sessions focus on practical steps. Harvey helps clients set realistic goals, practice new skills, and adjust patterns that get in the way of daily life.
He emphasizes dignity and avoids labels that stigmatize people. He has worked across many challenging areas including trauma, addiction, and post-traumatic stress concerns. That long experience informs a calm, steady style that aims to keep sessions focused and useful.
Outside therapy he lives in Louisiana with his wife and their terrier. He draws on decades of clinical work and real-life perspective to help people navigate change and find more satisfying ways forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Harvey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in his online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. EMDR helps people process distressing memories by combining focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation to reduce the emotional charge of those memories.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they will try methods that match the concern and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a longer session or visual connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill coaching, or scheduling between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different life situations.
