About Lanorma
Lanorma Burrell is a licensed counselor with 19 years of clinical experience. She holds an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and practices in Nevada. Lanorma aims to help people find steadiness when life feels overwhelming and to build clearer ways of coping and communicating.
Her work focuses on common difficulties such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, ADHD, mood disorders, and challenges connected to adoption and foster care. Sessions emphasize understanding what matters to each person and working toward practical steps that fit real life.
Lanorma uses a mix of familiar therapy methods. She relies on client-centered ways of listening, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical strategies to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness practices and relationship tools from the Gottman Method are available when helpful for goals like improving communication and emotional regulation.
She pays attention to cultural background and personal identity while helping clients build self-compassion. Conversations are aimed at reducing self-blame, increasing emotional awareness, and strengthening everyday coping skills. Clients are treated as partners in deciding goals and next steps.
People often come to her for support with parenting strain, career stress, attachment questions, and relationship conflict. The goal is clearer thinking, more effective communication, and steady progress that fits each person’s pace.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy is about being heard and understood. The therapist uses open listening and reflection to help people name their goals and feel supported while they make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for managing stress, mood disorders, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs and preferences, adjusting tools and pacing as goals evolve. Clients help set priorities and decide which skills to practice between sessions.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and let people join from quieter surroundings. Telephone sessions may use less bandwidth while video can help maintain visual cues for communication. Discuss practical preferences when scheduling so sessions match everyday routines.
