Frank Noll

Frank Noll is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical, person-centered work for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ-related concerns. He comes from a standpoint that clients know their own stories and brings calm, steady support as they take steps forward.

Frank believes therapy begins with listening. He uses clear, straightforward conversation to help people notice what matters to them and to find doable steps toward change. Sessions are respectful and aimed at everyday problems like overwhelming worry, low mood, and relationship strain.

His background includes several common therapeutic methods. Frank draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Client-Centered principles to make room for the client’s perspective. He also incorporates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when they fit a person’s goals.

Work with him often focuses on attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and identity questions, and co-occurring issues such as ADHD or isolation. He frames goals in practical terms - better coping skills, clearer priorities, and steadier moods. Frank encourages small, achievable changes that fit into daily life.

If you are considering therapy, he asks for an honest conversation about needs and preferences. The first step is a short intake to match goals and plan a path forward together.

How Frank’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which often helps with stress, worry, and mood problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s perspective and emphasizes a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship as the basis for change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences and will recommend techniques that fit your needs. That process is collaborative and can shift as you learn what helps.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions fit around work or caregiving. Therapists can also adapt mindfulness practices, ACT exercises, and CBT tools for remote sessions so the same kinds of skills work across settings.
