Naomi Kim, LPC - Therapist in Pennsylvania

About Naomi

Naomi Kim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and a practical, straightforward style to sessions. Parents often come to her looking for help with stress, parenting concerns, family challenges, or mood problems, and she focuses on clear steps people can use at home.

She learned much of her work in inpatient psychiatric settings, where she spent many years supporting people with depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.

Background and approach

Earlier work involved collaboration with Children and Youth Services, which shaped her skills around family dynamics and communication. Naomi also has experience with adults who have developmental disabilities and emphasizes capability over limitation. Naomi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people see how thoughts affect feelings and actions.

She also teaches Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to improve relationships and tolerate distress. Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy are part of her toolbox when those methods fit a person's needs. Her approach is practical and respectful.

She offers relaxation and coping strategies, helps set healthy boundaries, and works on problem solving and decision making. Naomi avoids pushing people to relive traumatic memories and instead focuses on techniques to manage symptoms and stay present. Sessions are conducted in English and are available to international clients.

Naomi’s background includes long-term clinical work in psychiatric settings and years working with families and caregivers, which informs her focus on parenting, family issues, and communication.

Practical therapy approaches for online family and parenting support

Naomi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her online practice. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer thinking, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT offers concrete skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and tolerating difficult moments without reacting impulsively.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques when helpful, which can speed up goal setting and strengthen motivation for change. Naomi works collaboratively with each person to decide which approaches fit best. Together they review goals, try a method, and adjust based on what feels most useful.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation easier for busy families. These formats let parents and caregivers fit sessions around schedules, practice skills between meetings, and check in in ways that match their comfort. The variety of options supports steady progress while keeping therapy flexible and accessible.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
