About Noelle
Noelle Penshorn is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Wisconsin. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting struggles. Her approach is practical and grounded, aimed at helping people name what’s going on and find steps they can actually try between sessions.
Noelle trained in marriage and family therapy after completing a master’s degree at Edgewood College. She brings about eight years of clinical experience to sessions and uses that background to guide focused conversations rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
The work is collaborative and clear; clients set goals and test small changes to see what helps. She blends several well-known methods to match each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based action and coping with hard feelings. Client-centered care keeps the person’s pace and priorities in the lead. Noelle also values mindfulness and relationship-centered tools.
For people in partnerships she uses elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce recurring conflict. She often pairs mindfulness exercises with practical skills for handling stress and impulsivity. Outside the office she makes art, hikes, and takes photos, and she says creative work often helps when words are hard.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online work
Noelle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values, which can ease stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsivity.She treats the choice of approach as a team decision. The first sessions are used to learn what matters to the client and what goals they want. From there the therapist and client pick techniques together and adjust them as progress is reviewed.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and use visual cues. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to send short updates, practice skills between meetings, or fit therapy into a tight schedule. These options are meant to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep consistent work on goals.
