About Noelle
Noelle Penshorn is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Wisconsin. She combines practical tools with a calm, down-to-earth approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, depression, and other life challenges. She aims to create a setting where clients can speak plainly about what’s hard and find clear next steps.
Noelle earned her master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Edgewood College, where she learned a systems approach to how relationships affect wellbeing.
Background and approach
She also holds an undergraduate degree in fine art, and she brings creativity into sessions when it fits the work. Art and simple expressive exercises are offered as options to help name difficult feelings. Her style favors collaboration and strengths-based problem solving.
Sessions focus on identifying patterns, boosting communication, and building small habits that ease daily life. Noelle uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and client-centered work to tailor practical strategies to each person’s needs. She has eight years of clinical experience and carries the LMFT credential.
Noelle works with individuals and couples on topics such as grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and parenting stress. She also helps with blended family issues, separation and divorce, workplace concerns, and life purpose questions. Outside of therapy she enjoys art, hiking, photography, and time with family and her two rabbits.
Her background in art and relational therapy shapes a warm, straightforward way of helping people clarify what they need and make real changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are hard. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more helpful routines and experiments to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Noelle works collaboratively with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Over a few sessions she checks in and adjusts tools so the work stays practical and relevant to the client’s life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use visual cues and full conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when typing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
