Daniel "Dan" Norris

Daniel "Dan" Norris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 20 years of professional experience. He works with people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem concerns, and depression. He also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, social anxiety and phobia, and life purpose.

Dan frames sessions as practical conversations. He listens to what feels most urgent and helps people break concerns into small, manageable steps. He uses clear, direct talk rather than clinical jargon. Sessions aim to clarify what is getting in the way of daily functioning and to build straightforward skills that can be used between meetings.

Over two decades of practice have included a range of settings and client concerns. That experience informs his work with people who are trying to regain motivation after a loss or a big life change. He supports exploration of values and priorities when clients feel stuck about what matters next.

Dan adapts the pace and focus to each person. He and the client set goals together and check progress as therapy continues. He encourages practical strategies for coping with urges, symptoms, or overwhelming feelings alongside conversations about meaning and purpose.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. Before booking, users should confirm current session options and formats to match their needs.

Evidence-based techniques for online work

Daniel Norris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going; they are often used for anxiety, depression, and social anxiety. Brief behavioral strategies can help manage urges and routines related to addictions by setting realistic goals and tracking small changes over time. Approaches that address grief and self-esteem emphasize skill-building around coping, self-talk, and repairing connections with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dan will discuss different techniques and decide together which fits a client’s situation, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying a strategy for a few sessions and adjusting it based on what helps most.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as using session times that work around work or caregiving, avoiding travel time, or having shorter check-ins when needed. For international clients, scheduling can be adjusted across time zones to match routines and availability.
