About Noelle
Noelle Penshorn is a licensed marriage and family therapist who practices in Wisconsin. She brings eight years of clinical experience and a warm, practical approach to people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and related concerns. Noelle uses straightforward language and gentle curiosity to help clients make sense of what feels overwhelming now.
Noelle blends narrative ideas with evidence-informed techniques to help people tell clearer stories about their lives.
Background and approach
She listens for recurring patterns and helps clients separate themselves from unhelpful narratives so they can try new ways of relating and behaving. Sessions are collaborative and focused on small, doable steps. Her training in marriage and family therapy gives her a systems-aware perspective.
That background helps when addressing blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, or family of origin concerns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support mood, anxiety, and attention-related struggles. Noelle values creativity and sometimes integrates art as a way to name emotions and make shifts that talk alone might not reach.
She aims to help people find clarity about their needs and try concrete strategies that fit their daily life. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, photography, and time with family and her two rabbits. People connect with her direct yet compassionate style when they want practical change and a clearer sense of direction.

How narrative and practical therapies work online
Noelle often combines Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problem stories so they can test new possibilities. ACT teaches skills to notice thoughts and values, then take actions that match what matters most.She also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person sitting with her. That means listening with curiosity, reflecting what matters most, and shaping goals together. The choice of approach is collaborative - she will talk with each client about what feels most helpful and adapt methods to fit their goals and daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and use screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions can fit during a break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try approaches consistently over time.
