Background and approach
Her approach includes techniques from acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to support people’s readiness for change. Naomi aims to match methods to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed style.

Her background includes work across schools, military-linked settings, child welfare, and counseling for individuals and couples. That mix informs a practical, problem-focused approach in sessions.

She helps set clear, achievable goals and checks in on progress each week. The work tends to be collaborative, steady, and focused on skills clients can use immediately.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, values-based actions to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, with the therapist providing active listening and support as the client finds their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. She may combine elements from different approaches and checks in regularly to see what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for quick check-ins or skill practice between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, school, or busy family schedules while keeping focus on progress and skill-building.
