About Noel

Noel Nightingale Follis is an Illinois-licensed LCPC who brings five years of clinical experience to her work with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and a variety of life changes.

Background and approach

She also supports people navigating grief, trauma, intimacy-related issues, addictions, ADHD, and other complex challenges such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image concerns. Noel emphasizes practical support alongside emotional understanding to help clients build coping skills and clearer direction.

She creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings openly, and she draws from evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered practices, the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy. Noel has experience working with individuals and couples and integrates therapy and coaching elements to help people set goals and develop everyday strategies.

To begin she encourages prospective clients to acknowledge the courage it takes to reach out and offers a collaborative process that starts with identifying priorities and selecting approaches that fit each person's needs.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to change behaviors and manage symptoms, often helping with depression, anxiety, and coping strategies. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting emotional regulation and stress reduction.

Noel approaches therapy as a collaborative process and will work with clients to determine which combination of approaches fits their goals and preferences. Together they explore what matters most, trial different tools, and adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve so clients feel involved in choosing their path forward.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote care. These formats allow regular contact, easier scheduling, and the opportunity to practice skills between sessions while staying connected with a licensed professional regardless of location within Illinois.
