About Nora

Nora Church is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Oregon. She has 10 years of experience supporting people who are facing grief, addiction, parenting strain, and life changes. Nora listens first and starts from each person's story rather than labels. She aims to move at a pace that feels manageable for the client.

Her background includes work in school-based and day treatment settings alongside case management roles. That hands-on experience informed her work with people affected by physical trauma and emotional abuse. Nora has supported parents caring for children with disabilities, those involved in foster care and adoption, and people navigating caregiving and cancer-related stress.

Nora uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to shape therapy. She focuses on building a steady, respectful relationship and helping people feel heard. Cognitive behavioral and narrative tools are also part of her practice when they match a person’s goals and needs.

People come to Nora for help with anger, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship stress, and sleep or eating issues. She also works with concerns such as codependency, commitment or communication problems, and multicultural adjustment. Expect practical conversations about coping skills, routines, and ways to rebuild connection.

Sessions are guided by what the person wants to address. Nora describes therapy as a collaborative process of understanding patterns, naming feelings, and trying small changes. She helps people set realistic steps that fit daily life.

How Nora’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current patterns. In simple terms, it looks at how people connect, and helps rebuild trust and closer communication when relationships feel strained. This can help with anger linked to fear of rejection or feelings of abandonment.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens without judgment and helps you find your own solutions. That approach suits people who want steady support while they sort out goals, coping strategies, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nora will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which combination of methods might help most. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats Nora is offering before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people connect from a familiar setting. Talk with the therapist about what you need and how sessions can be scheduled to match your routine.
