Katuria Norwood, LPC

Katuria Norwood is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience based in South Carolina. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her work also includes support around parenting, addictions, ADHD, career questions, and identity issues related to gender and LGBT matters.

She uses practical, evidence-based methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a frequent tool she applies to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also draws on client-centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on each person's goals and values.

Mindfulness practices appear in sessions to help people manage intense emotions and build tolerance for difficult moments. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help clarifying their reasons for change and building small, manageable steps toward a goal.

Katuria has worked with people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, first responder stress, OCD symptoms, and trauma-related difficulties. Her approach tends to be collaborative and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on useful strategies that can fit into daily life.

She offers multiple session formats such as video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different needs. Katuria welcomes conversations about practical goals like improving self-esteem, coping with life changes, or exploring life purpose.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspective. Sessions using this approach prioritize listening, empathy, and helping the client steer the work toward what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior that cause distress and then practice alternative responses; it often involves small exercises between sessions that work well in virtual formats.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress or new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video visits allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter format is preferred. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice skills in real time.
