About Bree

Bree Normandin is a licensed professional counselor who helps people who feel stuck by anxiety, burnout, or strong emotions. She focuses on practical steps so clients can feel more grounded and capable in daily life.

Background and approach

Her approach is collaborative and solution-focused. Sessions often begin by looking for patterns that keep problems repeating.

From there she helps clients build coping skills that fit their routines and goals. Bree supports adults dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, emotional regulation, and neurodivergence such as ADHD and autism.

She also works with people recovering from spiritual abuse and offers direct, compassionate guidance as they regain stability. Her toolbox includes methods that help people notice thoughts and behaviors and try new responses.

That can mean learning new communication moves, managing intense feelings, or shaping daily habits that improve sleep and focus. With four years of clinical experience, Bree holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and practices in North Carolina.

Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She aims to meet people where they are and help them build skills that last.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sessions focused on life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and closeness. It helps people understand emotional needs and try new ways of connecting and responding.

Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, test methods that feel right, and adjust as progress is made. The aim is to find practical strategies that fit daily life rather than to force a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls let the therapist observe nonverbal cues and work through skills together. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is easier. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules and to try techniques in real time.
