About Noelani

Noelani Neroes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in HI with three years of clinical experience. She sees people who are managing stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, and self-esteem challenges. Her practice is based in Hawaii and sessions are conducted in English.

Noelani keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people talk through anxiety, work on low self-worth, and process upsetting experiences. She also supports people dealing with substance use, eating and body-image struggles, and the stress that comes with caregiving or blended family situations.

Her work uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person sitting across from her. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help with grounding and noticing moments of tension.

Noelani also brings Motivational Interviewing into conversations when someone wants to change habits like substance use or medical self-care. That approach focuses on clarifying what a person wants and finding practical next steps that fit their life.

She has experience supporting people with complex needs such as co-morbidity, dissociation, domestic violence, first responder issues, and feelings of guilt or shame. People who prefer clear goals and practical strategies may find her approach helpful.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy in her online work means conversations focus on what the person wants to address most. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows the concerns you bring up so sessions stay relevant to daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and to try small experiments that change what you do next. That approach suits anxiety, mood fluctuations, and problems like low self-esteem or unhelpful routines.

Mindfulness Therapy is applied in short exercises that help reduce reactivity and increase attention to the present moment. These practices can be paired with CBT techniques to manage panic, stress, or frustrating thought patterns.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Noelani collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in as progress unfolds and adjusts methods so sessions stay practical and goal-oriented.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not specify supported formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments align with work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
