About Noreen

Her clinical work draws from several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. She tailors treatment plans to each person or couple, emphasizing improved communication, conflict resolution, trust-building, and deeper emotional connection and intimacy.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.



One of the greatest benefits is flexibility - individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit consistent care into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity when life circumstances change.



Therapists who offer remote care are licensed professionals, and if a different approach or provider would be a better match, clients generally have the option to switch. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible and effective path to working on emotional and relational goals with a qualified therapist.
