Background and approach

Naomi has worked across settings that involved child welfare, schools, and military-linked contexts. That experience shaped her attention to family dynamics, grief, addiction concerns, and recovery from trauma. In sessions she blends several approaches to match each person's needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports learning which values matter most and taking action toward them. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in the person's experience and goals.

Naomi also works with issues like sleep troubles, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She has familiarity with adoption and foster care topics, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and domestic violence-related concerns. She offers a direct, compassionate style and practical tools clients can try between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and Naomi accepts international clients. Her LCSW credential is held in Florida and she combines clinical skill with everyday problem solving to help people move forward.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Naomi often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT helps people identify thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or stress and then try concrete changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when strong feelings are present.

She also applies Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in the client's experience. That approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's pace while offering practical options. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to use based on goals and what feels most helpful.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief updates, reminders, or continuing work between appointments. These options provide flexibility for scheduling and for choosing the format that best matches each person's needs.
