About Norma
Norma Bonet is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about what matters most to them.
Her work often focuses on family tensions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges, and the stress of life changes. She listens attentively to each person’s story and helps them find clearer ways forward. Conversations are guided by the client’s needs and pace rather than a fixed agenda.
Norma draws on client-centered therapy to keep the relationship respectful and collaborative. She also uses solution-focused strategies to identify small, practical steps that can improve day-to-day life. For people affected by traumatic events, she incorporates trauma-focused methods to address symptoms and reduce the hold of painful memories.
Norma helps with issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, isolation, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth changes, and social anxiety. Sessions aim to make problems feel more manageable and to build coping skills that fit each person’s circumstances.
She works in English and Spanish and practices in Florida as an LCSW. If you are nervous about beginning therapy, Norma can help you take the first step and decide what kind of support would be most useful.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Norma uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person’s experience. That means the conversation stays focused on what the client wants to work on, and the therapist follows the client’s lead while offering empathy and reflection. This style can help when deciding goals and pacing for online sessions.She also draws from solution-focused therapy, which looks for small, practical changes that add up. In online sessions this can mean setting short-term goals, trying new behaviors between meetings, and checking progress together. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past events cause ongoing distress, and it helps reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning through structured strategies tailored to each person.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Norma will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow check-ins during a break at work, or let someone meet without traveling. Ask about session logistics when you schedule so the format matches your needs and routine.
