About Noreen
Noreen Keilty is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of practice in Minnesota. She draws on long experience to help people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the challenges that come with major life changes.

Noreen also supports people managing relationship concerns and the practical impacts of ADHD on daily life.
Background and approach
She aims to make the first step into therapy less daunting by offering steady, respectful support. Noreen creates an open space for conversation. Sessions focus on listening first, and then on practical ways to manage emotions and difficult situations.
She encourages straightforward talk about what’s working and what isn’t, and helps clients try small, manageable changes between meetings. Her style is calm and down-to-earth. She avoids judgment and tries to meet each person where they are.
The emphasis is on real-world coping skills, clearer routines, and better ways to handle stress. Therapy with Noreen often includes planning for immediate needs as well as longer-term goals. She helps people prioritize what matters most, develop simple strategies, and track progress.
For many, that practical focus makes daily life feel more workable and less overwhelming.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based techniques are used to address practical challenges and distress. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and routines to reduce stress and manage symptoms of anxiety and ADHD. This involves identifying small changes in daily habits and testing what helps with focus, sleep, and managing overwhelm.Another frequent approach centers on processing trauma and difficult emotions through paced conversation and grounding strategies. Sessions emphasize safety, steady pacing, and skills to reduce intense reactions so people can regain a sense of control over daily life.
Choosing the right mix of techniques is collaborative. The therapist works with clients to understand goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps. You and the therapist decide together which approaches fit your needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when a longer session is needed, phone sessions can be useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to touch base between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping momentum between sessions.
