About Noelle
Noelle Penshorn is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Wisconsin. She focuses on anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and life changes. She combines practical tools with a calm, strengths-based approach to help people take clearer steps forward.
Noelle trained with a systems lens while earning her Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at Edgewood College. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and also holds LMFT credentials in Colorado.
Background and approach
Her background includes an undergraduate degree in fine art, and she often encourages creative expression as a way to access difficult feelings. Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. Noelle listens first, then helps people name patterns and try small changes.
She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, and acceptance-based strategies to reduce worry and build values-driven action. Relationships are central in her approach. She draws on Gottman-informed ideas when addressing communication and connection challenges.
For parenting and blended-family concerns she focuses on practical steps to improve interaction and reduce conflict. Noelle also helps people who struggle with mood differences, ADHD-related challenges, intimacy issues, and workplace stress. She frames therapy as a process of gaining clarity about what someone is feeling and needing, then practicing new ways of relating and coping.
Outside of work she enjoys art, photography, hiking, and time at local lakes. She shares her home with two pet rabbits and values a balanced life that includes creativity and nature.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in worry. It can be useful for anxiety, burnout, and life-change decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thinking patterns that feed anxiety and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily routine. It is often used for social anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist reflects and supports the person’s own problem-solving and growth.Noelle treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan as progress and feedback come in. That collaborative rhythm helps tailor work to what actually helps the individual feel better and more in control.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match busy lives. Video calls let people use body language and face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick reflections, brief coaching between sessions, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options give flexible ways to stay consistent with therapy while balancing work, family, and travel.
