About Noel

Noel Nightingale Follis is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and grief. She also supports those coping with life changes, addiction, intimacy concerns, sleep or eating struggles, and attention-related challenges. Noel meets people where they are and encourages small, practical steps forward.

She uses straightforward conversation and active listening to create a calm and nonjudgmental space. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on skills they can use between meetings.

Background and approach

Noel draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Noel has five years of clinical experience and several years working in the field overall. She has worked with individuals and with couples.

She aims to help clients notice patterns that cause stress and try different ways of responding to them. In couples-focused work she uses Gottman Method principles to improve communication and reduce recurring conflict. For individual concerns she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and clarify values-driven goals.

Noel also weaves in mindfulness practices to help people manage physical tension and racing thoughts. She invites clients to experiment with brief exercises in session and to practice short, doable skills at home. The goal is steady progress, not sudden perfection.

Online support

How approaches and online sessions work together

Noel commonly draws on the Gottman Method to help partners improve everyday communication and reduce repeating fights. This approach focuses on concrete skills like gentle start-ups, turn-taking, and rebuilding trust after hurts.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where the goal is building a meaningful direction rather than eliminating all difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Noel will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust over time based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback and to shape the focus of sessions together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping consistent momentum.
