About Bree
Bree Normandin is a licensed counselor who helps adults who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, addiction, or overwhelming emotions. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Sessions aim to build coping tools and clearer ways of responding to hard moments.
Bree uses straightforward, collaborative work to spot patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps people understand what triggers them, and then practices new ways to respond. The focus is on small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Her approach combines several evidence-informed methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors.
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and emotional safety. Bree brings four years of counseling experience and holds LPC and LCMHC credentials, licensed in South Carolina as an LPC and in North Carolina as an LCMHC. She offers care for issues like ADHD, autism, trauma and grief, mood disorders, and challenges related to parenting, work, or life transitions.
Sessions can include coaching-style skill practice, emotion regulation training, and problem-solving for everyday stressors. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people feel more grounded and capable. Bree works in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values, even when emotions are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change feelings and outcomes. It is often used for anxiety, mood challenges, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time the plan can shift as new skills are learned or priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and text-based messaging supports ongoing brief check-ins or skill practice. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, caregiving routines, or busy days while keeping therapy consistent.
