Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Noel integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to online formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and build acceptance-based skills to live more fully despite difficult emotions - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and supporting the client's own capacity for growth, which is especially helpful for building self-esteem and processing relational concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, often addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.
Noel approaches treatment as a collaborative process, working with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She helps clients experiment with techniques and adjusts the plan together as needs evolve.
Online sessions can be conducted by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access licensed professionals and continue consistent care without traveling, balancing therapy with work, family, or other responsibilities.
