About Lanorma
Lanorma Burrell is a licensed counselor with nearly 19 years of clinical experience. She practices in Nevada and brings steady, practical support to people working through stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life changes.
Background and approach
Lanorma uses clear, direct conversation to help clients find tools that fit their daily lives. Her work focuses on helping people heal from trauma, manage addictive behaviors, and cope with depression or bipolar symptoms.
She also helps with relationship and communication struggles, parenting challenges, and issues that touch identity such as LGBT concerns. Lanorma pays attention to how culture and background shape reactions and choices.
In sessions she blends several approaches to meet what each person needs. She draws on Client-Centered methods to create a respectful, listening space.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. The Gottman Method informs work around relationship patterns and communication habits.
Lanorma also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness strategies to help people stay present during hard moments. Her style is collaborative and practical - she helps people try small skills, notice results, and adjust as needed.
She explains ideas in plain language and offers concrete steps to practice between sessions. People who value direct guidance, cultural awareness, and a mix of hands-on tools often find this approach useful.
Lanorma holds LCPC and LPC credentials and has spent most of her career helping clients build steadier routines and clearer choices.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Lanorma uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people change patterns and cope with strong emotions. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication habits and managing conflict in close relationships by identifying interaction patterns and practicing new ways to talk and repair. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect so the person sets the pace and goals while the therapist reflects and supports personal insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and offers concrete steps to test and shift unhelpful thinking.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lanorma collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. She often blends techniques, trying simple skills in session and adjusting based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan evolves with their needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice communication skills live. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing check-ins, brief coaching, or noting progress between meetings. These formats make scheduling easier and let therapy fit around work, family, or school obligations.
