Dr. Brigid Noonan, LMHC

Dr. Brigid Noonan is a licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma and abuse. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, with a focus on practical steps that fit into daily life.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what feels most urgent. Sessions cover emotion management, improving relationships, and finding ways to cope with major life changes. She also addresses issues like self-esteem, intimacy concerns, grief, and career stress.

Dr. Noonan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and set goals together. She emphasizes collaboration, helping each person figure out what works for them rather than imposing a single method. Small, concrete changes are used to build momentum toward larger goals.

With work across multiple states earlier in her career, she brings a broad perspective to diverse life situations. She supports people facing identity-related concerns including LGBT matters and gender dysphoria, as well as health-related challenges such as cancer and HIV/AIDS. Her practice also attends to aging and geriatric issues and struggles related to addiction and eating.

People often come for help coping with mood disorders, ADHD, or feelings of isolation. Dr. Noonan aims to help people regain routine, reduce distress, and make choices that reflect their values.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Dr. Noonan uses evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and build new skills. One common approach focuses on practical coping strategies for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step plans to reduce overwhelm. Another approach helps people process trauma and related reactions by pacing conversations, naming feelings, and developing safety-focused routines that reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to identify goals and then tailors methods to match those goals and personal preferences. This means checking in about what helps, adjusting pace, and combining techniques over time rather than committing to a single path from the start.

If you plan to do sessions remotely, confirm the available formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. It can also let people work with licensed professionals from different locations, which is helpful for international clients who want continuity of care.
