Background and approach

She holds the LMHC credential and is licensed in New York (NY LMHC 007007) and Florida (FL LMHC MH8423), while practicing in Maryland. Sessions are offered in English and she also works with international clients. In the room she focuses on making it easier to talk about difficult topics like trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, and mood disorders.

Conversations center on real problems such as coping with life changes, work stress, ADHD, and issues tied to identity and sexuality. She aims to help clients notice patterns and try small changes that can feel manageable. Dr.

Noonan blends practical techniques with empathic listening. She supports people working on addiction recovery, eating and food-related concerns, and problems connected to aging, illness, or caregiving. She also addresses multicultural issues and the isolating effects of shame or loneliness.

People start by explaining what matters most to them, then set simple goals together. Over time the focus shifts to building skills for daily life, improving relationships, and finding clearer direction. Her style is patient, direct, and hopeful.

Approaches that fit online care

Many clients respond well to evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive approaches help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding to stress and mood symptoms. These techniques are useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Behavioral strategies and skill-building are another common focus. These involve small, doable actions such as developing routines, managing cravings in addiction, improving sleep, or practicing communication skills for relationship concerns. These methods help turn goals into concrete steps clients can practice between sessions.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day reality. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time.

Online formats make this collaboration flexible. Video calls let conversations feel close to an in-person session, while phone sessions can be simpler for busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into real life and keep progress moving forward.
