About Frank

Frank Noll is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with seven years of experience helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues related to LGBTQ concerns. He works from a narrative perspective and centers each person’s story as the starting point for change. He speaks English and practices in New York as an LMHC.

Frank believes people already hold resources and strengths that matter. In sessions he listens for those strengths and for the stories that shape how someone sees themselves.

Background and approach

That listening guides practical steps forward, not abstract labels. He combines narrative ideas with approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work to help people notice what matters and take values-based actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are offered when concrete skills are useful, for example with mood changes, anxiety, or overwhelming emotions.

Frank often helps with concerns such as abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, commitment fears, impulsivity, isolation, and the search for life purpose. He also supports people dealing with trauma, gender dysphoria, ADHD, and relationship communication challenges. Sessions are practical and conversational.

Frank aims to create a space where people can try different ways of telling their story and test small changes between meetings. He encourages honest, clear goals and reviews progress over time.

Online session options

How narrative and skills work online

Frank blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work to help people re-author their lives and act on what matters. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for alternative stories that open up new choices, which can help with identity, shame, and life purpose. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose values-based actions that fit their goals. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and nonjudgmental listening, giving people space to find their own solutions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit each person’s needs and goals. Sessions begin with what matters most to the client and adjust over time if different skills or perspectives seem more useful.

Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while using narrative and skill-based tools effectively.
