About Bree

Bree Normandin is a licensed counselor who focuses on practical help for people feeling stuck by anxiety, burnout, or overwhelming emotions. She uses straightforward coaching and therapy to build coping tools and help clients feel more grounded and capable. Sessions emphasize clear steps and skills that can be used in daily life.

Bree draws on several therapy styles to match each person's needs. She pays attention to patterns that keep problems going and helps people try new ways of responding. Work together can include learning strategies for emotional regulation, addressing addictive behaviors, and navigating symptoms of ADHD or autism.

Her background includes four years of clinical experience as an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and LCMHC, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. Bree works in North Carolina and holds those two credentials as listed. She provides supportive, goal-oriented sessions aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

In sessions she aims to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Expect practical exercises, real-world problem solving, and time to talk through difficult experiences like grief, trauma, or relationship strain. The focus is on usable skills you can practice between meetings.

People often come for help with stress, mood issues, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, or career transitions. Bree also offers support around attachment questions, abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and other layered challenges. She encourages clients to notice small changes that add up over time.

Therapy approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. It helps people who feel stuck or avoidant by teaching practical ways to accept difficult feelings and move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and many daily stressors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape responses now and supports building healthier ways of relating and regulating emotions. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Bree will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements of ACT, CBT, and attachment work across sessions so clients can try what fits best. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and let someone join a session without a commute. It also allows for practicing real-life skills between meetings and maintaining consistent momentum toward goals.
