Getting to know LaNiesa Norris

My focus areas are treating adolescents and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, high stress, child/parent conflict, and conduct problems. As your therapist, I aim to develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship to help you meet your goals. Together, we will identify the areas you want to improve and set concrete action steps using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused models. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and DBT. These approaches are practical, straightforward, and goal-oriented. I have worked with and feel most comfortable supporting clients experiencing mild struggles with depression, anxiety, interpersonal and relationship problems, conduct issues, anger, and high stress. Our sessions will feel like a conversation with a non-judgmental, open-minded, and supportive professional friend. It will be a collaborative process where we work together to achieve your goals. My journey to mental healthcare began with the understanding that we often hold irrational beliefs about others' perfect lives or our own expectations. In reality, things aren't always as we hope, and sometimes we need help breaking down these unproductive thoughts to live a more fulfilling life. My goal for you is to start our conversation with the question, “If things could be different and as you would want, what would that look like? How could you tell that things have changed, and what would be different?” In our first session, you can expect us to begin building rapport, identify problem areas, and discuss your expectations and goals. I will also explore your background and any concerns you may have about previous therapy experiences. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and Rehabilitation from the University of South Florida, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively on your journey.
