About Noelle
Noelle Penshorn is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Wisconsin who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, trauma and relationship challenges.
Background and approach
She draws on an integrative, systems-informed outlook developed through graduate training in Marriage and Family Therapy, combining practical strategies with attention to patterns within families and partnerships. Penshorn emphasizes a strengths-based, collaborative style that supports clients in identifying emotions, clarifying needs, and finding workable solutions.
Her work blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-focused and client-centered techniques, and she often incorporates elements that support communication and intimacy. Outside of therapy she draws on a background in fine art and personal creative practice, using art as an option for expression when words are hard to find.
With eight years of clinical experience, she offers several formats for online engagement and aims to help clients build greater self-awareness, improve relationships, and cope with life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and follow the licensing details listed for practice in Wisconsin.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that align with personal values; it can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life transitions by emphasizing purposeful action alongside acceptance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering structured tools for symptoms like depression, anxiety, and impulsivity. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience and uses empathic listening and nonjudgmental support to foster insight and self-directed change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Penshorn works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s goals, values, and preferences. She will discuss options, try strategies in-session, and adjust the plan based on what feels most effective and comfortable for the client.
Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, try skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care during life changes while working together on relationship dynamics, coping skills, and emotional processing.
