About Norma
Norma Bonet is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on more than 25 years of experience to support people facing family and parenting challenges. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can describe their situation and name what matters most to them. Norma speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida as an LCSW.
Her work often focuses on family conflict, parenting concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also helps people manage grief, cope with life changes, and address issues like abandonment, attachment, and caregiver stress. Sessions aim to make things feel more manageable so clients can take clearer steps forward.
Norma uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person in the room and their goals. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to identify practical steps and on trauma-focused approaches when past hurt affects day-to-day life. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.
In sessions she listens for patterns that get in the way of connection and coping. Then she and the client try out small changes and new ways to communicate. Over time the focus shifts from problem description to problem solving.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Norma acknowledges that. She supports people as they make changes at their own pace and works with them to define what progress looks like.
How her approaches translate to online work
Norma integrates client-centered therapy by focusing on each person’s priorities and current struggles. This means sessions begin with listening and understanding what the client wants to change, which helps shape the work that follows.She also uses solution-focused therapy to find small, practical steps that lead to visible changes. This approach helps when someone needs concrete strategies for parenting, communication, or coping with sudden life shifts.
Trauma-focused techniques are used when a history of trauma or abuse affects daily behavior and relationships. In these cases she pays attention to safety and pacing, and helps clients build skills to manage difficult memories and reactions.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, trial different methods, and adjust based on what is useful. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan reflects their needs and preferences.
