About Bree
Bree Normandin is a licensed professional counselor who helps adults who feel stuck by anxiety, burnout, or repeating patterns. She focuses on practical steps and clear tools so day-to-day life feels more manageable. Sessions aim to leave people feeling steadier, more capable, and better able to handle stress.
Bree works with adults on anxiety, depression, addiction, and challenges tied to neurodivergence such as ADHD and autism. She also supports people who are recovering from spiritual abuse and those facing complex life stress.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to relationships, grief, intimacy, sleep and eating concerns, and career or parenting strain. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Conversations explore the patterns that keep problems going and build straightforward coping skills.
Bree uses body-focused work alongside talk-based methods to help people notice where stress shows up in the body and learn ways to calm it. She draws on several proven approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered care, and Cognitive Behavioral techniques. These are blended to match what each person needs rather than following a single script.
Bree has four years of experience and holds LPC and LCMHC credentials. Sessions are offered from North Carolina in English, using a mix of formats to fit busy lives. People typically start by identifying immediate struggles and setting practical goals.
The aim is steady progress that fits into everyday life.
Approaches you can use online
Somatic-informed work helps people notice how stress and emotions show up in their bodies. It uses gentle attention to breath, posture, and sensations to reduce tension and help people feel more anchored. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them while making space for difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns affect current relationships and helps people build safer, more trusting connections.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Over a few sessions the plan is adjusted so work feels useful and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. These options let people meet from home, schedule around work or caregiving, and pick the format that feels most comfortable. The flexibility makes it easier to try different approaches and keep progress steady.
