About Noreen
Noreen Joyce is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Hawaii with 40 years of clinical experience. She sees people dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family of origin problems, grief and complicated bereavement, and serious mental illness. She also works with stress, anxiety, addiction issues, ADHD, and a broad range of mood and life-transition concerns.
Noreen uses practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and existential approaches. She also offers EMDR and hypnotherapy as options some people find useful.
Her style is collaborative. She and the person in therapy agree on goals and steps to reach them. Sessions focus on concrete strategies you can try between meetings and on making small changes that add up.
With decades of experience, she combines steady clinical judgment with straightforward planning. That experience includes work with complicated bereavement and serious mental health challenges, and with people navigating family problems and relationship issues.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
CBT is a practical, structured approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems where patterns of thought sustain difficulty.Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It supports clarifying goals and deciding which steps to take next. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of working together. Noreen will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to recommend methods that fit the situation. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so techniques match what the person finds most useful.
