About Norman Klaunig, MA, NCC

LPC Associate, supervised by Dr. Ray Wooten, LPC-S

It’s time to move forward with hope, purpose, and joy.

I am a San Antonio-based psychotherapist and am available for online counseling anywhere in Texas.

You feel stuck and don’t know how to move forward.

You may have tried therapy before but did not feel heard. You need a therapist who gets you—a safe space to discover how to move from pain to purpose.

My clients

I work with clients who are ready to leave the pain of the past behind them, to shed what has been holding them back, and to move toward their purpose with a light heart and a spring in their step.

My clients are willing to do “the work,” to engage, and to take ownership of their life.

You know that there is more to life than what the eye can see and are looking to make sense of all of your experiences. You want to become your best self and enjoy the journey of life.

Together, we will work on getting you started on that path.

Get to know me.

Therapy from the Heart

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

You’ve read the books and searched the internet, but haven’t been able to bring real change into your life on your own. Now you are ready to do something about it and get help.

You are looking for a therapist who engages with you, who listens, but also challenges you when needed. You are looking for someone to walk the path to purpose with you—a path that is uniquely yours. You want a therapist who helps keep you on the tracks you laid for yourself—a partner and guide for the big questions of life.

You don’t need someone who uses the same approach for everyone they see, nobody who works with a fixed formula. You don’t expect the therapist to do the work for you and want to get to the root of whatever might be holding you back.

You are looking for me.

Get in touch

I’m here to empower you.

Life has taught me a lot. I have lived on three continents and experienced different living and working environments, which has contributed to my being open, accepting, and curious. I am a father and a husband and thus understand the joys and stresses of family. I have worked for myself and also in the corporate world and understand the challenges of corporate careers as well as business ownership. Now, I am living my purpose and am ready to help you find yours.

In addition to my professional degree, I have various certificates. I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision to be able to educate and empower future counselors. Constantly educating myself helps me to help you move from pain to purpose.

Clients describe me as an empathetic listener and compassionate guide. They appreciate my life experience and how it adds depth to therapy. My clients, regardless of background and life story, feel safe and heard. They value my honesty and openness, as well as the creative and personalized approach I take, which makes them feel seen.
