About Alice
She builds sessions around what matters to each person. Conversations cover communication, setting boundaries, coping skills, and rebuilding self-esteem. Therapy aims to turn confusing feelings into manageable steps and choices.
Her background includes long experience with trauma, grief, addiction concerns, and intimacy-related issues. She draws on several well-known methods to shape sessions so they fit the person in front of her rather than a single formula.
People often seek her help for big life changes, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care questions, or struggles tied to attachment and abandonment. She also supports those coping with bipolar symptoms, anger, dissociation, and co-occurring conditions.
Dr. Noell describes her style as collaborative and respectful. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new ways of relating, and find routines that support emotional stability. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can blend techniques over time so the plan changes as progress is made.
The original biography did not specify which remote session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It also lets people continue care across state or national lines when that is appropriate for both client and therapist.
