Hi my name is Lynda Nora Durand and I go by Nora. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience in the state of Florida and New York. I am a Florida native who moved to New York years ago. I have a Master in Mental Health Counseling and a certificate in Child and Adolescent Studies. I have worked in child welfare as an advocate and counselor to youth in foster care from there I became a crisis counselor for Hurricane Sandy Victims, to then run a crisis respite center for individuals with what we call “severe mental illness” where we provided a peer environment in which individual’s experiencing psychosis but did not rise to the level of hospitalization could have a place to stay away from their activating environment, and currently I work with victims of crimes. I shared so much detail as to my prior work experience because it speaks to the way I work with individuals. I believe in meeting every person where they are at and providing a compassionate non-judgmental space to process and explore their individual reality. My approach is a combination of Intentional Peer Support, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Need Adaptive Treatment model. I do my best to be creative with the therapy I provide and tailor it to the individual that I am working with. I am so happy that you have taken this step to work on your emotional and mental health and look forward to the opportunity to be a support alongside you in this journey.

Each one of us has a desire within to be our truest, best selves. Sometimes our circumstances can hinder our thoughts and emotions in feeling the success of this ability. We can feel as though we are walking through a fog, unable to unlock this potential. Whether you are coping with sadness, anxiety, life stressors, life changes, or trauma, I am a firm believer that everyone has the ability to hit the pause button, take a deep breath, catch their second wind and begin again. Sometimes it just takes that first step, recognizing that the more you take, the closer you are to exiting the fog and beginning the life you imagine. The key to success is the relationship between client and therapist. With kindness, compassion and trust, we can help you be your most accepted self. I will help you learn the skills to manage the concerns you have at hand, the mindfulness to bring clarity to a tough situation and the ability to apply these to other aspects of your life present and future. I have a deep appreciation for my clients and where they are at-whether they are looking for a long term therapeutic process or a short term situational circumstance they want to decompress from, heal and grow with.

My background in both clinical social work and vocational rehabilitation allows me to support clients not only with their emotional well-being, but also with developing confidence, independence, and direction during times of change. My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, family conflict, and major life transitions. I have a particular passion for supporting individuals and families navigating divorce, co-parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, and the emotional impact these transitions can have on both children and adults. I also enjoy helping clients who are facing changes related to education, career goals, employment challenges, disability, and finding balance between personal and professional responsibilities. I believe that each person has unique strengths and abilities, and therapy can help uncover those strengths while creating a path forward. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client's individual needs. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems, and trauma-informed care to help clients develop effective coping strategies, improve relationships, and create lasting change. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a difficult transition, struggling with relationships, or seeking support in creating a more fulfilling life, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel challenging, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Find a therapist near you in Belmont, New York

Finding a therapist near you in Belmont, New York starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. New York is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In New York, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across New York, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.
