About Noelani
Noelani Neroes is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Hawaii with three years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and bipolar-related issues. Noelani works with individuals who need practical strategies and clear steps to manage day-to-day challenges.
Noelani uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that keep problems going. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding. Sessions aim to be concrete and focused on what a person can do between visits.
Her work blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. That means sessions may include skill-building, gentle reflection on values and goals, and short mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. She encourages small experiments to test new behaviors and beliefs.
Noelani also addresses a broad set of life stressors such as caregiver strain, body image concerns, addiction and recovery issues, relationship and blended family tensions, and first responder-related stress. She describes specific strategies for coping with guilt, shame, dissociation, and co-occurring problems.
People who prefer clear structure, practical homework, and direct feedback tend to find this approach useful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to set priorities.
How CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness translate to online sessions
Noelani commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT offers step-by-step exercises and short homework tasks aimed at specific problems like anxiety or low mood.She also draws on client-centered methods that focus on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. That approach helps clarify values and practical goals. Mindfulness practices are used in short, teachable ways to reduce reactivity and build attention for daily tasks.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She consults with each person about goals, preferred methods, and how active they want to be in sessions. The plan evolves based on progress and feedback, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online work because it can fit into a lunch break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Discuss scheduling needs and any practical constraints during the first session so appointments fit into everyday routines.
