Marihelena Noguera, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Marihelena

Marihelena Noguera is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for parents and people juggling family responsibilities. She aims to make starting therapy simple and approachable for a worried parent on a phone. Sessions focus on clear goals like reducing stress, easing anxiety, improving relationships and handling life transitions.

Marihelena draws on methods that help people notice what matters to them and take small, manageable steps toward it.

Background and approach

She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with motivational techniques. These tools help with everyday struggles such as self-esteem, communication problems, body image, and issues around intimacy and jealousy. In sessions she listens for what each person wants to change and then builds a straightforward plan.

That plan may include practical exercises, short reflections, or new ways to spot unhelpful thinking. The aim is steady progress rather than overnight fixes. She has worked in a variety of settings over four years and holds licenses in Florida and Washington - FL LMHC MH20595 and WA LMHC LH61334835.

Marihelena offers services in both English and Spanish, and works with people around concerns such as ADHD, codependency, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. Therapy is delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so parents can fit sessions into busy schedules. Marihelena tailors approaches to each person and helps set realistic steps toward healthier routines and clearer communication.

Approaches that fit busy family life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what they value and take small actions toward those values. It uses acceptance and mindfulness exercises alongside recommitment to practical steps, which can help with stress, anxiety, and making changes during life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It breaks problems into manageable parts and uses short, practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve communication and self-esteem.

Marihelena treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose or combine methods and adjust them over time so the work fits daily life and family demands.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around parenting, school runs, and work. They also let people use short check-ins or longer video meetings depending on what helps most.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
