About Noreen
Noreen Joyce is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 40 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, addiction concerns, parenting stress, anger, and struggles with self-esteem. She also works with mood disorders, ADHD, and challenges related to life transitions.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then creates a plan that fits each person's situation.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps, coping tools, and understanding patterns that get in the way of feeling better. She draws from several therapy styles depending on what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors.
Client-centered work centers the person's own goals and strengths. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is offered as one option for addressing traumatic memories. Noreen also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and existential ideas when they suit a client's goals.
Hypnotherapy is another technique she may include for certain concerns. The aim is to match methods to the problem, not to follow a single recipe. Based in Hawaii, she has worked across a range of issues including family of origin problems, chronic illness, abandonment and adoption-related concerns, and veteran issues.
She communicates in English and accepts international clients for online work.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and strengths. Online sessions using this style give space for the client to lead discussions while the therapist helps clarify priorities and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is offered as a method to process troublesome memories and reduce their emotional intensity when appropriate.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what a person responds to. That collaborative process helps match methods to goals rather than imposing a single model.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging can serve as shorter check-ins, quick coping reminders, or a way to reflect between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help therapy continue across locations and schedules.
