About Norman
CO Psychologist Dr. Norman (Norm) Dewhurst has 44 years of experience and practices in Colorado. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and bipolar-related challenges. Dr. Dewhurst works from practical therapy approaches and centers the client's perspective in sessions.
He uses client-centered methods to listen and respond to each person's goals. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to ongoing problems. Existential ideas help when people are wrestling with meaning, responsibility, or major life transitions. Solution-focused techniques are used for setting short-term goals and testing small changes quickly.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. The clinician treats the person in front of him as the best source of information about their life. Therapy may include tracking thoughts and behaviors between meetings, trying small experiments, and focusing on practical steps for coping with stress, sleep disruption, or relationship patterns.
Dr. Dewhurst's background across four decades means he has seen many life situations and adjustments. He draws on that experience to help people weigh options, consider consequences, and decide on realistic next steps. The emphasis is on clear, usable strategies rather than technical language.
People considering work with him are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach emphasize the person's goals and rely on the therapist responding to what the client brings up in each meeting. This method helps when someone needs a thoughtful, person-led conversation about relationship concerns, grief, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress and testing new ways of thinking and acting. In remote sessions CBT often includes brief between-session tasks, thought records, and checking practical steps in the following meeting. This works well for anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and depressive patterns.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences and may shift methods as progress is assessed. That decision is made together, not assumed in advance.
The practical benefits of online work depend on the session formats offered. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow use of written worksheets or screen-shared materials during the appointment.
