About Naomi
Naomi Kim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who brings 15 years of clinical work to conversations about parenting and personal stress. She uses straightforward methods to help parents manage anxiety, mood concerns, and the everyday strain of caregiving. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at small steps that fit real family life.
Naomi spent many years working on an inpatient psychiatric unit, where she developed experience with depression, anxiety, and bipolar mood patterns.
Background and approach
That background shaped her interest in helping people rebuild confidence and find clearer ways to solve problems. Earlier work alongside child welfare services gave her hands-on insight into parenting challenges and family communication. In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to clarify how thoughts affect feeling and behavior.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques to help people set manageable goals and take action. Naomi is trauma informed and attentive to how difficult memories can shape day-to-day life without forcing people to revisit events. Her style emphasizes practical skills - relaxation strategies, boundary-setting, and steps for improving sleep and daily routines.
She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, work stress, and questions about life purpose. Her military background gives her extra perspective on transition and adjustment issues. Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients both inside and outside the United States.
Naomi prefers clear, collaborative planning so parents can try new strategies between meetings and notice small improvements over time.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Naomi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. CBT helps people notice thought patterns that affect mood and behavior and then practice different ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. DBT offers concrete skills for managing big feelings, handling conflict, and tolerating distress without reacting in harmful ways.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Naomi will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past experience, and then recommend a mix of techniques. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions match real life needs and parenting demands.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for longer, skill-building sessions and practice with relaxation or boundary conversations. Phone sessions can be useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people send quick updates, work through small steps between meetings, and fit brief support into a busy day.
