About Laura
Laura Noel is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people facing anger, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress. She offers steady, respectful support and aims to help people notice strengths and work toward clearer goals. Laura talks plainly and listens first, so people feel understood before making a plan.
Her approach blends practical skills and deeper exploration. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change reactions.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and take meaningful steps despite difficult feelings. Laura leans toward a warm, client-centered style.
Sessions focus on what matters in daily life - work, relationships, parenting, and self-care. She helps people build coping strategies for anger and communication, and she supports those dealing with trauma, grief, or identity concerns. With seven years of experience as an LCSW, she has worked with people managing both acute stress and longer-term trauma.
Her background includes a mix of short-term skills work and longer conversations about attachment and family history. She tailors the pace to each person’s needs. Therapy is offered in English and is available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches fit online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their values and take small actions that matter, even when emotions feel overwhelming. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and making steady life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns that increase upset and learning new ways to respond; it works well for anger, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try different tools, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and practice communication skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or hands-free conversation is needed. Messaging and live chat are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or when a written record of thoughts is helpful. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or busy days while still focusing on emotional regulation and behavior change.
