About Norman

Dr. Norman (Norm) Dewhurst is a Colorado psychologist (CO Psychologist PSY.0000777) with 44 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, anger, grief, and other life changes.

He approaches therapy from the view that each person knows their own story. He uses that starting point to help people notice strengths they can rely on when things feel overwhelming. Sessions focus on clear steps and concrete ways to address problems rather than on jargon or labels.

Dr. Dewhurst commonly uses client-centered methods to listen closely and follow the person's pace. He often incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques aimed at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Solution-focused ideas are used to identify immediate, practical changes a person can try between sessions.

In practice he keeps discussions direct and readable. He talks through specific patterns people fall into and suggests small experiments to test different ways of responding. People who struggle with anger or recurring frustration get straightforward support to recognize triggers and try alternatives in real life.

He has worked in Colorado settings across many years and brings that long experience to routine problems and complex situations alike. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting to see if the approach fits their needs.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to remote sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. Online sessions can keep that same emphasis by letting the therapist and client talk through what matters most and set priorities together.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote work CBT tools often include tracking patterns, trying small behavioral experiments between meetings, and reviewing results together in the next session. That makes CBT useful for anger, anxiety, sleep, and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and specific problems, then recommend which methods to try first. That is a collaborative decision and can change as progress is tracked.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list formats. Ask which formats are offered and choose what fits daily life best - for example a shorter check-in that fits a lunch break, a phone session when bandwidth is limited, or a longer meeting for deeper issues. Online options can make it easier to schedule regular meetings and to apply practical steps between sessions.
