About Maxine

Dr. Maxine Notice is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Nebraska. She holds the LMHC and the LCMHC credentials and brings 11 years of clinical experience across New York, New Hampshire, and Nebraska.

She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and goal oriented. She uses evidence-based methods to build simple, usable plans.

Sessions often focus on learning skills and making step-by-step changes rather than long lectures or vague advice.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in community mental health clinics and hospital settings. That experience shaped how she supports people and their family members through illness, pain management, grief, and adjusting to new diagnoses. She draws on those settings when helping clients sort immediate problems and plan next steps.

Dr. Notice commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, and narrative therapy to help people identify patterns, set goals, and change unhelpful habits. She creates tailored action plans so clients have clear tasks to try between sessions.

Readers can expect a collaborative approach. The therapist starts where the person is and works together to find realistic solutions. The focus is on building strengths, practical coping skills, and small changes that add up over time.

Approaches for online family and life challenges

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more helpful ones. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stress. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for strong emotions and conflict. Narrative therapy helps people tell and reshape the stories they live by, which can be useful for grief, trauma, and identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to concerns, goals, and preferences, then suggest or combine methods that fit. This collaborative process means plans can change as needs evolve and progress is discussed openly.

Online sessions are designed for flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, while phone sessions may suit those on the go. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins and options for people who prefer written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to try techniques between meetings.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
