About Naomi

She helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, and changes in life.

She also addresses topics related to parenting, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and women's issues. Her style is practical and down-to-earth. Naomi listens first, then helps clients set small steps that feel doable.

Background and approach

She uses tools from several evidence-informed approaches to help people change patterns that cause pain and frustration. Naomi trained with a master's degree in social work and holds the LCSW credential. She brings three years of documented clinical experience and broader social work experience to sessions.

That background shapes how she works with real-life problems and system-related stressors. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to each person. Naomi combines skills-based work with attention to emotions, and she helps people practice new ways of responding between appointments.

She aims to make therapy feel practical, not overwhelming. People who prefer remote options can connect in multiple ways. Naomi supports English-language sessions and accepts clients located outside the United States.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on what matters most. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and big life changes by teaching values-based actions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and follows their lead. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and can explore solutions at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep issues, and coping skills that are useful in daily family life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi will discuss options and try methods that match each person's needs, goals, and comfort level. She treats the process as a collaboration and adapts strategies based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting duties, work, or caregiving responsibilities. Remote formats also let people practice skills in real time and follow up between meetings in ways that support continuity of care.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
