   About Naomi

   Naomi Kim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people move forward. She draws on 15 years of clinical experience and a background in the military to offer steady, direct support for people facing hard moments.

   Naomi often works with issues such as depression, anxiety, bipolar mood concerns, and panic. She also helps with stress, addiction, grief, sleep problems, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem. Parenting challenges, relationship conflict, and family stress are also within her focus.

   Her approach includes clear, hands-on tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Naomi also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change.

   Naomi has extensive time in inpatient psychiatric settings and experience with caregiver and aging issues. She is familiar with communication problems, forgiveness work, and the stress many caregivers face. Her background in the Air Force also informs how she listens to people with military connections.

   In sessions she focuses on what someone can do next rather than what they can’t. Naomi emphasizes practical skills - problem solving, boundary setting, and relaxation techniques - that people can use between meetings. Her style is direct, compassionate, and focused on real steps forward.

2. How Naomi’s approaches translate to online therapy

   Naomi commonly uses Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to guide her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person’s own reasons for change and strengthening motivation through open conversation. CBT looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
   
   Finding the right approach is a shared process. Naomi works together with each person to pick techniques that match their goals and life situation, adjusting as progress is made. The plan is tailored, not fixed, and priorities are set based on what matters most to the client.
   
   Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins during short breaks. Some people prefer shorter or audio-only meetings to accommodate bandwidth or to make sessions simpler. Discussing these practical preferences when scheduling helps set up sessions that work for day-to-day life.
