About Laura

Laura Noel is an LCSW based in North Carolina who supports people coping with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and a wide range of relationship and life-change concerns.

Background and approach

She approaches each person with empathy and respect, aiming to help clients increase self-awareness and build on existing strengths rather than trying to simply "fix" problems. Her approach emphasizes practical insight and skill-building that can lead to meaningful change over time.

With seven years of clinical experience, Laura integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based work, and client-centered strategies. She has particular experience working with acute and chronic stress responses and post-traumatic stress, and she blends therapeutic tools to match each person's needs.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit individual goals, with an emphasis on clarity, compassion, and forward movement. Laura frames therapy as a partnership that highlights resilience and growth while addressing challenges like grief, self-esteem, eating and body-image concerns, communication and attachment issues, and caregiver stress.

She brings professional training and a respectful, client-focused stance to support people through transitions and difficult emotions.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify core values, accept difficult emotions, and take committed action toward meaningful goals; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and communication formed in relationships, helping clients address attachment wounds and improve interpersonal functioning.

Choosing the right approach is typically a collaborative process. Licensed therapists work with each person to consider goals, preferences, and the problem areas that feel most pressing, and then adjust methods as needed so the treatment aligns with changing needs over time.

Online therapy formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life transitions. These options offer flexibility in how and when people engage in therapy, supporting consistent access to evidence-informed interventions and skills practice without requiring in-person visits.
