About Noelle
Noelle Penshorn is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, intimacy worries, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Noelle works from Wisconsin and speaks English. She trained in marriage and family therapy and brings a systems-minded view to sessions.
Her style is strengths-focused and collaborative. She helps clients name feelings, spot repeating patterns, and find practical steps forward.
Art and creativity are part of her life and sometimes part of the work when it helps people express hard emotions. Noelle uses approaches such as the Gottman Method for relationship work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and act on them, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness and client-centered techniques also shape sessions. These methods are used to help with communication, overwhelm, and trauma recovery.
Sessions aim to build clarity and concrete tools people can use between meetings. Noelle encourages self-compassion and focuses on small, doable changes that improve day-to-day life.
She pays attention to family dynamics and blended family needs when those are part of the concern. Outside of therapy she enjoys art, hiking, photography, and time at local lakes.
She earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice.
How Noelle’s Approaches Work Online
Gottman-informed work focuses on communication habits and shared rituals that help partners reconnect. Online sessions using these ideas look at how couples talk and solve problems, then practice small exercises that can be used at home. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their values and take action toward them. In online ACT sessions, clients learn simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build meaningful routines. Client-centered therapy gives people space to be heard and understood. In a virtual room this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, listens closely, and reflects what the client is saying to help them find their own answers.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps narrow to the tools that feel most useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is hard, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide quick check-ins or shorter, focused support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
