Background and approach
Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can be done next. Dr. Noonan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, who practices out of Maryland and holds licenses in New York and Florida as well.
Her work emphasizes straightforward coping skills, emotional understanding, and steps that fit daily life. She prefers clear goals and practical strategies that clients can try between sessions. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental.
She encourages people to name difficult feelings and to test small changes that can improve relationships and daily functioning. Progress is treated as a series of small, achievable steps rather than sudden fixes. Long experience informs her approach, but each plan is shaped by the person in front of her.
Therapy begins with a focused conversation about current problems and moves toward tools and routines that help a person feel more steady and in control.
Evidence-based care delivered online
Dr. Noonan uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage distress and make changes. One common method focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress such as breathing techniques, activity planning, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These tools help reduce avoidance and improve daily functioning.Another approach centers on mood regulation and routine building to address depression and bipolar symptoms. This work emphasizes sleep and activity schedules, tracking moods, and testing small behavioral changes that lift energy and blunt extreme swings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay focused on real needs and personal preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep face-to-face contact from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates and ongoing accountability between sessions, making it simpler to maintain momentum during busy weeks.
