Norma Jean Salinas, LPC

Norma Jean Salinas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who combines a warm, client-centered manner with an evidence-informed approach to care. She earned a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from The University of Texas at Austin and a master’s degree in mental health counseling with high distinction from the University of the Southwest in Hobbs, New Mexico. After making a midlife career change, she embraced counseling as her second act and has since accumulated eight years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of therapeutic settings.

Norma Jean works with individuals from diverse backgrounds who face a wide range of issues. Her style is empathetic, relaxed, and non-judgmental, and she may use appropriate humor when it fits the moment. She emphasizes a collaborative, client-directed approach - the person receiving care helps guide the goals and pace of treatment while Norma Jean offers gentle guidance, practical tools, and steady support. She will meet people where they are and does not force steps that feel premature.

Adopting an eclectic and integrative framework, Norma Jean draws from evidence-based theories, modalities, and techniques to create individualized treatment plans rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution. She places strong value on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change and encourages those seeking help to find a therapist who feels like a good fit. Norma Jean is committed to supporting, encouraging, and empowering individuals who are ready to take steps toward a fuller life, and she considers it an honor to walk alongside people in their journeys.
