Noel is an awesome therapist that listens without judging. He was able to help me find some triggers that were leading to the behavior I was trying to change and work with me to change those behaviors.
More about Noel
- 20 years' experience

- LMHC
I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 20 years of experience providing counseling and psycho-therapy. I have a dual masters degree in Mental Health Counseling and School Guidance Counseling. I have worked with clients suffering from wide ranges of issues including depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD along with sexual disfunctions. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and criminalization.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Noel listens and give helpful advice. He has helped me on my journey to sobriety and has opened my eyes to thoughts and coping skills I never used before
Noel is an awesome therapist that listens without judging. He was able to help me find some triggers that were leading to the behavior I was trying to change and work with me to change those behaviors.
Noel is caring, compassionate, and patient. He takes the time to listen to your concerns. He asks you about your day and weekend which usually gets the conversation going. I'm happy to start our call every week and pleased to recommend Noel. If you are new to therapy or have been attending therapy for years, give Noel an opportunity to change your view, which could ultimately change your life.
Noel is incredible with taking the time to listen to your problems and feelings and help you navigate with solutions and tools he gives you. An incredible guy and an incredible therapist!
Friendly, warm, and welcoming to this new experience for me.
Noel is extremely easy to speak with and always has excellent advice for whenever I bring up an issue that popped up that week I would compare it to speaking with a close friend on the phone who you can be open and honest with and know they will support you. He has given me hope and a new take on life.
ABSOLUTELY amazing, and helped me through one of the hardest moments in my life... a divorce. I feel stronger, closer to God, and more confident in myself because of the work we did together!
Being completely new to therapy, I wasn't sure what to expect. Therapy is something I've always wanted to explore but wasn't sure how to get started or what exactly I was even looking for. Noel has been great to work with, he shows a wonderful level of care and provides great feedback and perspective to our discussions. I couldn't recommend him more!
Great guy, great therapist
Amazing
He has always been there for me and listening to my struggles. I’m glad to have him as my therapist
I worked with Noel for an entire year until we couldn't coordinate our schedules anymore. It's been a difficult year for me with significant changes at home and at work. However talking to Noel helped me focus on what's important and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great listener and incredible support.
Noel is patient and kind. I love that if he hasn't heard from me that he will message me to see if I'm OK. I love that feature that Betterhelp offers over traditional therapy.
Amazing!!!!
Noel James is the best therapist I've experienced ever. He listens, asks clarifying and probing questions that challenge me to look deeper beyond my feelings. He helps me utilize my own autonomy and empowerment to process. This is important because it does not create a dependency issue between the client and therapist. Noel is truly about healing work. I am grateful to find Noel James.
Noel is an amazing therapist. He listens and supports me. He’s funny and very personable. He relates to me and actually CARES about my well being. Will check on me when no one else will. Just an overall dope person
He has helped me through my highest and my lowest and I am very grateful to have him as my therapist
Noel James is awesome!!!
It's only been 2 weeks and Noel has helped me so much. I feel heard by him and that matters. He's an active listener that engages to stimulate the conversation. I highly recommend Noel.
Noel has been a breath of fresh air, it’s nice to be able to open up to someone and know that it’s a safe space. I’m looking forward to continuing my journey and seeing how i can truly improve for the better.
A solid therapist with a vast well of experience and Knowledge. Easy to talk to, the advice I've received has benefited me greatly over our calls and messages online.
Noel is an attentive, intelligent, and professional therapist. He takes care to understand my perspective and challenges while challenging me to incorporate helpful practices to heal. I am healing smoothly and regaining confidence in myself as our practice goes along. Thank you.
Noel James is an incredibly understanding therapist and his methods are very effective. I always feel refreshed after a session with him where he’s always positive and encouraging. He obviously cares about the well-being of his patients.
I’ve tried therapy several other times. Most of my therapist I could not get a good connection with. They were usually by the book and they did not give the option to speak multiple times per week. Noel actually listens, is funny and relatable. Gives great advice and recommendations.
Noel continues to help me immensely. Our conversations are some of the most important of my week and they are helping me become the person I want to be. Noel has a very calming manner and doesn’t judge - he is fantastic.
I like how Noel just asks enough to help. He's light to talk to and I appreciate that.
Has great communication skills and always find several ways to help you see things clearly.
Noel’s strong sense of support has helped me get to a better place with myself. He’s great at listening and knowing when to hard check my motivations and decisions. I look forward to learning more from him and continuing to lean on him for counseling.
Noel is incredibly sincere and patient, he listens and is such a kind hearted individual. Of all the therapists I’ve had he really seems like the most genuine. I was nervous during our first session but after getting to know Noel my anxieties were quickly eased. 10/10.
Dr. Noel James is very attentive and I do enjoy our sessions He is an excellent therapist and I would recommend him He is helping me to unravel my issues layer by layer like an onion
Noel has such a warm and welcoming personality that really invites you to open up and feel comfortable in counselling. His therapy style was effective in shifting my mindset and being able to rationalize my insecurities and depression and their root causes. I look forward to working with him again in the future and would recommend him to any others that are struggling with similar issues.
Therapy has helped me to reflect on whats truly important in my life. Noel is super insightful and has helped me navigate the hurdles life has thrown at me. I was hesitant to do therapy in the first place but Im now glad I did because I feel it is making an impact in how I live my life.
Noel has been great. He provides a great balance of allowing me to think and speak on my feelings and also providing his perspective/feedback
Noel James is a considerate and authentic person. He listens carefully and asks pointed questions to support my exploration and healing. By following his suggestions, I have already become cart and more grounded; so much so that others around have taken notice. Noel's authentic engagement in my process towards healing helps me feel safe and secure. I have recommended Noel to others, and will continue to.
Noel is attentive, insightful, and personable. I'm really enjoying my sessions with him!
Noel is very patient and kind. He gives you a variety of ways to communicate with him and frequently checks in to see how you are doing. I appreciate his tips, tools, and straight forwardness - he keeps it real. I definitely end session feeling well grounded and motivated!
I have gone through years of therapy with multiple therapists and never have I before actually had a therapist that was as helpful, thoughtful, and judgement free as Noel James. I feel like he is very responsive and knowledgeable about his craft. I’m extremely grateful for his guidance and perspective while I work through my personal issues & life challenges at this time.
Noel is my first therapist and he is amazing. I’m very pleased that he was paired up with me
