She meets each person with empathy, curiosity, and respect, easing the uncertainty that often comes with reaching out for support.

Laura aims to empower clients by highlighting existing strengths while gently exploring areas for growth. She creates a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences and values, build skills, and set realistic goals for meaningful progress. Whether someone is returning to therapy or seeking it for the first time, she focuses on collaboration and practical steps that fit the individual.

Specializing in depression, anxiety, and attention difficulties, Laura has substantial training in helping people affected by both acute stress and chronic post-traumatic stress. She integrates a range of evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, and psychodynamic approaches, selecting strategies that match each client’s needs and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress that interfere with daily living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can help with mood, anxiety, and attention-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, making it useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping under pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura Noel works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods best fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds. This helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical for each individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity when schedules change, and access consistent support without geographic constraints. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured, evidence-informed care while tailoring the pace and tools to each client’s circumstances.
