Dr. Brigid Noonan , LMHC

Dr. Brigid Noonan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing from Maryland with 25 years of clinical experience. She holds licensure in New York (NY LMHC 007007), Florida (FL LMHC MH8423), Maryland and the District of Columbia. Over her career she has supported people facing stress and anxiety, substance use and addiction, LGBTQ concerns, relationship and family challenges, depression, trauma and grief, and a wide range of life transitions and identity issues.

She emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. Her approach centers on practical strategies and shared decision-making that empower clients to take the steps they choose toward greater wellbeing. Seeking change often requires courage, and she aims to provide steady support and guidance as individuals work toward more fulfilling lives. As an LMHC - a licensed mental health counselor trained in assessment and evidence-informed interventions - she blends clinical skill with compassion to help people build coping skills, improve relationships, and navigate both short-term crises and longer-term growth.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Dr. Brigid Noonan uses evidence-informed, practical approaches tailored to each person’s needs. One core focus is trauma-informed care - an approach that attends to how past harms affect present thoughts, feelings, and relationships, and offers strategies to restore a sense of safety and agency. Another emphasis is on relapse prevention and coping skills training for people managing substance use or addictive behaviors - teaching concrete techniques to recognize triggers, reduce risk, and build healthier routines. She also offers supportive, problem-focused therapy for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions, helping clients identify priorities and develop realistic steps toward change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Dr. Noonan collaborates with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, so therapy reflects individual needs, preferences, and pace.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to connect with licensed professionals from different locations and life situations. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care during busy or changing circumstances, and can help people access consistent support without travel.
