Getting to know Ronald Norman
My name is Keith Norman, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in El Sobrante, CA. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Pastoral Counseling from Loyola University Maryland and a Bachelor’s degree from Florida Memorial University. I enjoy working with premarital couples, most often using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In therapy, we explore thoughts, emotions, and actions while pursuing treatment goals.
My approach
I most often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I also consider a client's spiritual or religious background using Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy. My approach is a collaboration between therapist and client toward shared goals.
My focus
Clients who are a good match are consistent in attendance, self-aware of their mental, emotional, and spiritual selves, and willing to discuss their life experiences. I am confident in helping couples develop strong relationships and work through relational challenges.
My communication style
I typically exude a positive, encouraging, and humble tone. I believe clients have the solution to their challenges within them. I offer different perspectives to help discover the missing link to their success. I genuinely care about my clients and appreciate our therapeutic journey toward growth and healing.
My goals for you
I support clients in setting goals that are specific, measurable, aligned, realistic, and time-bound (S.M.A.R.T.). I invite clients to pursue progress through action steps between sessions. Clients always have the freedom to adjust or decline goals at any time.
My first session with you
Our first session includes an overview of who I am as a therapist and why I choose this work. I explain the therapeutic process based on the client’s previous therapy experience. We briefly explore the client’s purpose for initiating this journey.
