About Alice
Dr. Alice Noell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 35 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression among other issues. She speaks English and works with people facing grief, intimacy questions, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and major life changes.
Her background blends several clinical approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and practice skills that reduce distress. The work is practical and skills-based when appropriate, with attention to relational patterns and emotional regulation.
She also addresses less commonly named concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric topics, and caregiver stress. Other areas supported include attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and coping after disasters. People bring both single concerns and overlapping difficulties, and treatment can address co-morbidity.
In clinical practice she uses structured tools alongside open conversation. That might mean tracking thoughts and behaviors, learning acceptance-based strategies, or practicing interpersonal skills. Sessions aim to create clearer understanding of patterns and doable steps to try between meetings.
Clients choose therapy for a mix of immediate relief and longer-term change. Dr. Noell asks about day-to-day routines, relationships, and past experiences to shape focused goals. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. It is practical and goal-oriented, useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily stressors.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches noticing difficult feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with avoidance, chronic stress, and coping with loss or life transitions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people recognize repeated relationship habits and practice different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining CBT skills with ACT strategies or using attachment work to inform relational goals.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, saving travel time, scheduling shorter check-ins, or choosing sessions that don't require being on camera. Licensed professionals use these practical benefits to help people maintain consistency and try behavioral experiments between appointments.
