About Nora

Nora Church is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Oregon. She brings ten years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. Nora listens closely to each person's story and moves at a pace that feels comfortable to them.

Nora uses Narrative Therapy as a way to separate problems from the person. She helps people tell and retell their story so they can see patterns and make different choices.

Background and approach

She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to build trust and keep the work focused on each person’s needs. Sessions typically include simple tools and conversational work. Nora may use cognitive-behavioral ideas to help with unhelpful thinking, and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present feelings.

The goal is practical change - better sleep, less overwhelm, clearer boundaries, or improved coping with life changes. Her background includes case management and school-based settings, and she has supported people dealing with grief, parenting stress, trauma, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar concerns. Nora also works with issues such as caregiving stress, multicultural concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on availability.

How Nora’s Approaches Work Online

Narrative Therapy helps people rewrite the stories that shape their lives by separating problems from identity and looking for alternate plots that support change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in important relationships to build more reliable ways of relating and reduce worry in close connections. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s voice at the center of sessions, with the therapist listening, reflecting, and following the client’s lead.

Nora treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She talks with each person about goals and preferences, tries out strategies that seem to fit, and adjusts the plan as needed. This helps make sure the work feels relevant and doable for the person in front of her.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video calls work well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins, written reflection, or times when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
