Noel Nightingale Follis, LCPC

Noel Nightingale Follis is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life stresses including anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, ADHD, and anger. Noel also works with intimacy-related issues, career strain, and the strain that comes from caregiving and chronic illness.

Noel sees individuals and couples and helps people talk through what is causing strain. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Expect conversations that look at immediate problems and steps you can try between meetings.

Her approach draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered work, along with mindfulness practices. That means sessions often mix noticing patterns of thought, testing small behavior changes, and clarifying what matters most. A Gottman-informed perspective is used when relationship dynamics are a focus.

Noel pays attention to background factors that matter for everyday anger and stress, such as trauma, attachment patterns, and life transitions like adoption, aging, or role changes at home. She also addresses issues connected to body image, sexual expression including kink, and co-occurring struggles like chronic pain or medical illness.

Practical steps are emphasized rather than abstract theory. Noel usually helps people identify clear next steps, practice new ways of responding, and track what works. If you want to try focused, no-nonsense support for anger or related concerns, she can help you get started.
