LeNee Norris , LCPC

LeNee Norris is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland with seven years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

LeNee focuses on practical, goal-oriented work that matches each client's needs. She listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to what matters most to the person in the room. Sessions often include skills to manage emotions, steps for coping with stress, and strategies to improve motivation and confidence.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values and meaningful action when feelings are difficult. Mindfulness practices are offered to build awareness and reduce reactivity.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and career transitions. She also supports LGBT clients and those coping with anger or family conflict.

LeNee guides clients through small, achievable steps. Progress is tracked in ways that make sense for each person. To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used so sessions can begin according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

LeNee uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still focusing on the values and actions that matter to them. This approach can help when someone feels stuck or unmotivated and wants to build a life that fits their priorities.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT offers concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress, and these skills can be practiced between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy informs the way she listens and responds, creating a respectful space where the client's priorities guide the work.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. LeNee will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and may shift over time as needs change.

If you are considering online care, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions so skills are practiced between meetings and progress can continue outside the appointment.
