Norma Bonet, LCSW

Norma Bonet is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people navigate painful life events. She focuses on trauma and abuse, family concerns, grief, and parenting challenges. Norma speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida as an LCSW. Her work centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult memories and current struggles. She listens closely and helps people name what feels overwhelming. Sessions aim to make strong problems more manageable through steady, practical steps. Norma uses approaches that emphasize the client's perspective and strengths. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's priorities. Solution-focused ideas support short-term goals and clear next steps to change daily patterns. When trauma or abuse is part of someone's story, she uses trauma-focused strategies to reduce distress and improve coping. Those methods are used alongside conversation about relationships, parenting responsibilities, or grief as needed. Clients can expect straightforward, calm guidance and an emphasis on workable tools. Norma encourages small experiments between sessions so progress carries into everyday life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the available times.

How client-centered and trauma-focused approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and helps a person say what matters most. This approach is useful for family concerns, parenting stress, and general life changes.

Solution-focused therapy aims for practical, short-term goals. Sessions identify small steps a person can try between meetings to shift routines or communication patterns. This can help with caregiver stress, social anxiety, or relationship communication problems.

Trauma-focused therapy addresses distressing memories and their impact on daily life. It includes techniques that reduce the hold of painful experiences and build coping skills for post-traumatic stress and abuse-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Norma will work with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
