About Nora
Nora Church is a licensed professional counselor, LPC, and a licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, practicing in Oregon. She brings ten years of clinical experience to work that often centers on parenting concerns, grief, addiction, and trauma. Nora aims to create a calm space where parents and caregivers can talk through immediate problems and plan next steps.
She uses approaches that pay attention to relationships and life stories. That includes attachment-based work to look at bonds and patterns, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and narrative ideas that help people rewrite stressful chapters in their lives.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on practical change. Nora has worked with people touched by adoption, foster care, and caregiving stress. She also supports those facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship struggles, and challenges around intimacy or self-esteem.
Her background includes experience with grief therapy and supporting parents of children with disabilities. In meetings she listens first and moves at a pace the client wants. She avoids labels and emphasizes respect and understanding.
Many sessions include skill-building for stress, sleep, or parenting routines and short-term problem solving when a plan is needed. People looking to begin can expect clear steps and down-to-earth guidance. Messages, phone sessions, or video calls can all be used to follow up on progress and try new strategies between meetings.

How attachment and cognitive approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns, try new ways of relating, and practice different responses with real-life examples. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve routines. It is useful for sleep, stress, parenting routines, and mood management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. That process is collaborative - the plan can be adjusted as progress or challenges appear.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy parents and caregivers. Video calls allow visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a quick check-in or help when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short updates, coaching between sessions, or checking ideas as they come up. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school runs, work breaks, or caregiving days.
