Background and approach

This mix of settings shaped a down-to-earth style that prioritizes what works for each person. Naomi draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to connect thoughts, feelings, and actions, and she uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete coping and relationship skills. She also incorporates Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods to help people set goals and find momentum.

Trauma-Focused approaches inform how she handles painful memories without forcing them into sessions. Typical concerns she helps with include anxiety, depression, bipolar mood issues, grief, addiction, sleep problems, and parenting stress. She also addresses aging and caregiver strain, isolation, career questions, ADHD, and intimacy-related worries.

Sessions emphasize small, manageable changes and clear next steps. Naomi offers multiple online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. English-language services are available and international clients can work with her.

How Naomi’s approaches translate to online care

Naomi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and panic. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which is useful for anger, relationship strain, and distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi will talk with each person about goals and what feels useful, then try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative - she helps people try techniques, notice what changes, and adjust the plan together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for short check-ins, goal tracking, or when a brief exchange is more practical. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
