More about Noel

  • 20 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMHC

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 20 years of experience providing counseling and psycho-therapy. I have a dual masters degree in Mental Health Counseling and School Guidance Counseling. I have worked with clients suffering from wide ranges of issues including depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD along with sexual disfunctions. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and criminalization.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Noel is extremely easy to speak with and always has excellent advice for whenever I bring up an issue that popped up that week I would compare it to speaking with a close friend on the phone who you can be open and honest with and know they will support you.
