Background and approach
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions center on what matters most to the person in front of her, with plans shaped to match each client’s goals and pace. Naomi emphasizes clear tools and steady emotional support rather than jargon.
She draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These approaches inform practical exercises, thought work, and ways to stay present when feelings are intense. Naomi has worked with older adolescents, adults, and seniors across many settings during her career.
She is based in Michigan and offers services that can fit different schedules and life demands. Her style is respectful, patient, and rooted in decades of practice experience.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that reflect their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making meaningful life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to help them find clarity and confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Naomi collaborates with each person to try methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. If one approach isn’t working, she adjusts the plan so the sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief exchanges and ongoing support between sessions. These options offer flexibility for people with varied schedules, mobility needs, or who travel frequently.
