LeNee Norris , MD, LCPC

LeNee Norris is a licensed clinician in Maryland who helps people build motivation, confidence, and stronger self esteem. She speaks plainly and treats people with respect and compassion. She aims to make the first steps of seeking help feel manageable and encouraging.

LeNee uses a mix of practical approaches in sessions. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to clarify values and take action even when feelings are hard.

Her style is client-centered, so conversations follow what matters most to each person. She will listen, reflect, and then work with clients to shape a plan that fits their life and goals. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies come in when brief exercises or small experiments can move things forward.

Over seven years of professional work, LeNee has supported people around depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy issues. She also helps with parenting strain, career transitions, anger, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes.

Sessions can include goal setting, practical skill practice, and step-by-step problem solving. Her approach emphasizes clear next steps so clients leave sessions with concrete things to try between meetings.

How online sessions use CBT and values-based work

LeNee often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that get in the way of progress and to try new behaviors that test different outcomes. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems because it focuses on small, practical steps.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take action even when emotions are difficult. ACT is useful for making life choices that match personal values and for handling painful feelings without getting stuck. Client-centered techniques shape sessions around each person's priorities and pace so therapy feels relevant and respectful.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what works best. This back-and-forth helps tailor exercises and homework to real life.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill work and role play. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or camera use is not ideal. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, school, or family schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
