Noble Counseling llc
Welcome! I'm Leslie Noble, licensed psychotherapist. I'm accepting new clients virtually throughout Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina.
I work with clients who are highly motivated and ready to change. That doesn't always mean bright eyed and bushy tailed. Actually, motivation can show up in ways we don't expect. Maybe you're feeling frustrated, unfulfilled, or anxious. I work with clients who are willing to take steps outside of session to make daily progress.
I help adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, and executive functioning skills. I offer both individual and couples therapy.
I don't want you to be in therapy forever. My goal is to give you the tools you need to succeed without me. What progress are you willing to make today?
If you continue scrolling, I've listed more information about my typical clients and the strategies I use below.

My Clients Include:
High achievers stuck in a cycle of burnout
Women who want to reevaluate their relationship with alcohol
Adults struggling with task completion, focus, or mood

Clients struggling with flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, or avoiding things they used to love

Adults struggling with intrusive self harm or suicidal thoughts who are appropriate for outpatient levels of care
Clients stepping down from Partial Hospitalization or Intensive Outpatient programs who are looking for a new weekly therapist
Therapy Approaches
1
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
This evidence based modality uses coping skills to teach mindfulness, distress tolerance, acceptance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. It holds space for accepting ourselves while also changing for the better. Using a both/and mindset, you'll learn to make space for the whole story. This modality addresses various disorders including anxiety, depression, and more.
2
Cognitive Processing Therapy
CPT is a trauma modality specifically for treating PTSD and trauma symptoms. This is a short term therapy lasting 10-15 sessions. This therapy utilizes a series of daily practice worksheets to reframe thoughts related to the traumatic event and the aftermath. This therapy is appropriate for clients wanting to meet weekly. The podcast This American Life actually did an episode describing CPT called "10 Sessions" that I've linked here.
3
Sex Positive Couples Counseling
Sex Positive Couples Counseling considers the importance of intimate connection. How is intimacy affecting other areas of your relationship? This modality also works to educate couples and de bunk myths about sex. It addresses both companionship and romance.
Imago communication techniques help you learn to mirror, show empathy, and listen to each other.
I received my formal training in counseling from The College of William & Mary. I earned a Masters of Education Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and graduated in 2022. I completed my practicum, internship, and residency working in multiple private practices and in a Partial Hospitalization Program. During this time, I became proficient in providing individual counseling as well as leading group therapy. Upon becoming independently licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, I continued my work in Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient programs. I enjoy working with clients who are stepping down from PHP/IOP and want a therapist who knows how far they've come.
In 2024, I started Noble Counseling LLC. Since then I have remained dedicated to continued education by participating in on going trainings for DBT, CPT, and integrative therapies.
In my previous career, I performed and taught professionally as a modern dancer. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Dance Performance from UNC Greensboro in 2014. I taught in dance studios, a public middle school, and performed with Jane Franklin Dance in Arlington, VA. I have also completed RYT-200 Yoga Teacher Training and have continued dancing. I have taken classes with Dance for PD, a curriculum created by Mark Morris Dance Group for those with Parkinson's Disease. I enjoy helping clients learn to ground with movement and use somatic practices to reduce their mental health symptoms.
Therapy isn't just another appointment. It is a thoughtful investment in your health, relationships, and future.
In Network:
I accept Aetna, Cigna, and United insurances in Virginia and Maryland.
In North Carolina, I am out of network and do not accept insurance.
For all self pay clients, I can provide a Superbill for possible reimbursement with your insurance company. Please confirm your out of network benefits.
Self pay rates:
Individual 55 min session: $180
Couples 55 min session: $240
Why do some clients choose not to use insurance?
There are many reasons a person may opt out of using insurance. For instance, insurance may dictate session time length, frequency of session, or treatment planning. If you want more individualized and autonomous care, self pay may be the best option for you.
