About Brigid
Dr. Brigid Noonan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She practices in Maryland and has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, and LGBTQ concerns. She also addresses grief, self-esteem, career questions, and life transitions.
Noonan encourages clear, direct conversation about what is causing distress. She helps people name worries and try small changes that can feel manageable. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest talk rather than jargon or long lectures.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across several states, which informs a steady, experienced approach. She has worked with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, and substance use challenges, and she supports people navigating identity and gender-related questions. Her practice also covers issues like isolation, midlife transitions, and aging-related concerns.
In sessions she listens for patterns that make problems stick and helps clients test new ways of responding. The work often includes setting short goals, practicing specific skills, and reviewing what does and doesn’t help. Progress is checked in straightforward ways so adjustments can be made.
Noonan accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Practical matters such as scheduling, costs, and the first-step process are handled through the platform’s matching and booking tools. She asks people to complete a brief questionnaire before the first visit so sessions can start focused and efficient.
How evidence-based approaches shape online work
Dr. Noonan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. Cognitive-focused approaches help people notice thoughts that increase anxiety and test more balanced ways of thinking, which can reduce avoidance and worry in social situations.Behavioral strategies look at what people do or avoid and include step-by-step practice of feared activities. These methods are useful for phobias, social anxiety, and for breaking cycles that feed addictions by encouraging repeated, manageable experiments.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what fits the person's life and preferences. Progress is checked regularly and the plan is changed if something isn’t working.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during life transitions. Some formats may also allow shorter check-ins that suit a hectic schedule or option for sessions without video if that helps someone participate.
