Noelani Neroes, LCSW

Noelani Neroes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Hawaii with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and LGBTQ concerns. Noelani also lists blended family issues among her areas of focus.

Noelani works directly with adults who need clear strategies and steady support. Sessions tend to be practical and straightforward. She uses approaches that help people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what helps over time.

Her background includes client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, with mindfulness and motivational interviewing integrated into sessions when useful. That means conversations may alternate between reflecting what matters most to the client and learning concrete skills to manage thoughts, moods, or behaviors.

Noelani often helps people unpack family problems, caregiving stress, codependency, and loyalty conflicts that come up in blended households. She also addresses concerns like body image, addiction, eating issues, dissociation, and the effects of domestic violence or past abuse.

In practice she sets collaborative goals and breaks tasks into manageable steps. Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and short exercises to try between sessions. The focus is on what changes someone can make now, and how to handle setbacks without losing progress.
