About Harvey
Harvey Norris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana with 35 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and trauma-related problems. He also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, parenting stress, chronic illness, and issues related to military service.
He offers straightforward, respectful care focused on each person's goals. Harvey begins by meeting people where they are. He uses a warm, person-centered style and avoids labels that feel stigmatizing.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and steady progress rather than jargon or quick fixes. His work draws on several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, dialectical skills for managing intense emotions, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories. He also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to make sense of life patterns and relationships.
Harvey has long experience supporting veterans and people with trauma, and he brings that background into how he plans care. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk honestly about painful topics and test new ways of coping. Outside of work he lives in Louisiana with his family and a terrier named Scruffy.
He describes therapy as a collaborative effort and invites people to explore what change could look like in their lives.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Harvey often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR when working online. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new, more helpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional hold by using structured sets of attention and memory processing.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Harvey will talk with each person about goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the plan practical and collaborative.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and quick reflections without scheduling a call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
