About Naomi
Naomi Kim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and relationship and family issues. Naomi also addresses coping with life changes, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting, self-esteem, career concerns, and ADHD.
Naomi draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. She works in clear steps to identify automatic thoughts and test whether they are helpful. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to teach concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving communication.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are part of her approach when change feels stalled or when clients want practical, short-term strategies. For trauma-related concerns she follows a trauma-focused perspective and avoids pressing clients to recount traumatic events. Relaxation techniques and moment-focused coping are offered to reduce distress and support present functioning.
Her background includes long experience on an inpatient psychiatric unit and prior work with child welfare-related agencies, which informs her experience with parenting and family stress. Naomi is a military veteran and notes an understanding of the challenges people from military backgrounds may bring.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Naomi helps people build skills for saying no, setting boundaries, solving problems, and making decisions. She supports international clients and conducts sessions in English.
How her CBT and DBT approaches translate to online work
Naomi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact, and to teach practical exercises for changing unhelpful patterns. She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to build distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer interpersonal boundaries. These approaches lend themselves to skill-building tasks and short between-session practice exercises.She treats choice of technique as a collaborative process. During early sessions she and the client review goals and try approaches that fit the person’s priorities. If a method isn’t helpful, they adjust the plan and try another strategy together.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports using worksheets, in-session coaching, and homework practice between meetings so progress can continue between appointments.
