Noelle Mejia , LCSW

Noelle Mejia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She has extensive experience working with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also addresses related areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and isolation.

Noelle offers a warm, rapport-focused approach that emphasizes dignity, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She favors a strength-based, empowering stance and uses a systems perspective to consider how family, community, and social factors affect an individual. Diagnosis is used as a tool to understand symptoms and causes rather than as a defining label. Her clinical work draws on evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing, with treatment tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals.

Seeking help requires courage, and Noelle aims to guide people through that first step and beyond, collaborating to create practical, individualized plans for change and growth.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where getting unstuck feels important.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support while the client explores their own goals and solutions. This approach is especially useful for people seeking validation, self-understanding, and a safe space to process emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical skills and experiments. CBT is often used for mood and anxiety concerns, stress management, and coping with addictive behaviors.

Noelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right approach is an ongoing process and she partners with clients to adjust methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for their situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from different locations. These options support ongoing connection and practical support while accommodating varying preferences for communication.
