Frank Noll

Frank Noll is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ-related concerns. He emphasizes a respectful, person-centered approach that views each client as the expert on their own life.

Frank believes small changes lead to meaningful shifts. In sessions he listens first, then helps people identify habits and thoughts that get in the way. He works to build practical strategies that fit each person’s day-to-day life rather than imposing one fixed plan.

His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods including acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to address symptoms like worry, low mood, and problems with impulsivity or attention. He also supports people dealing with identity questions such as gender dysphoria and other LGBT concerns.

Frank often helps clients tackle relationship and communication problems, attachment and abandonment worries, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. He also works with issues such as body image, guilt and shame, and life purpose when they come up in therapy.

His style is collaborative and straightforward. He encourages people to notice small wins, try new skills between sessions, and adjust the plan as needed. To begin, a person completes the site questionnaire and schedules a first appointment based on the therapist’s availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, value-driven steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains basic attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works for the client. Clients are invited to share preferences and to test skills between sessions so the work fits their life.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as the original biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make scheduling easier by fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when bandwidth is limited or provide a way to work on skills without needing in-person visits. Licensed professionals can adapt the work to a client’s routine and needs, helping therapy feel more practical and sustainable.
