About Noelle
Noelle Penshorn is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Wisconsin. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, grief, trauma, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with relationship and parenting concerns and life transitions.
Noelle trained at Edgewood College where she earned a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. She brings eight years of clinical experience and a background in fine art from her undergraduate studies.
How Noelle works
Art and creative work often appear in sessions as an optional way to express difficult feelings. Noelle draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and client-centered listening to make space for what matters most.
Mindfulness skills and principles from the Gottman Method inform relationship-focused work. Her style is practical and strengths-based. She helps people identify patterns that cause pain and build small, doable steps toward change.
Sessions aim to increase clarity about feelings and needs while improving communication and problem-solving. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, photography, and time by lakes in summer. She lives in Wisconsin with family and two pet rabbits and often brings a calm, steady presence to sessions.

How Noelle brings therapy online with practical approaches
Noelle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice what matters most and take action that matches their values even when feelings are difficult; it can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and finding direction. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and improve daily routines.She also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person’s experience and to guide the choice of tools. Finding the right approach is a team effort - she will work with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and comfort level and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues and interpersonal work matter, phone calls can fit a short break or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins and ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping work focused on the client’s goals.
