Naomi Kim

Naomi Kim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Naomi draws on a long history of work with mood and anxiety concerns and aims to help people find practical ways forward.

Naomi spent 14 years in the Air Force and later worked for many years on an inpatient psychiatric unit. That experience shaped her focus on depression, anxiety, and how those conditions affect confidence and daily functioning. She has also worked with agencies connected to Children and Youth Services and with adults who have developmental disabilities, so she often helps people sort through family and parenting challenges and communication problems.

Her approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behavior are linked, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches concrete skills for managing distress and relationships. She uses Trauma-Focused techniques when needed and incorporates Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas to help people set and reach practical goals. Naomi emphasizes skill-building over lengthy theory in most sessions.

People come to Naomi for a wide range of concerns including stress, anger, addictions, grief, sleep problems, and issues with intimacy or self-esteem. She also helps with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and seasonal affective disorder. Her style is direct, respectful, and geared toward usable strategies.

Naomi welcomes conversations about next steps and will work collaboratively to set goals. She encourages prospective clients to start by sharing what feels most pressing and practical changes they want to try.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Naomi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and increasing distress tolerance, useful for anger, intense mood swings, and interpersonal struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Naomi works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and comfort level. She tailors techniques over time and checks in about what is or isn't working so goals stay realistic and useful.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so work or caregiving duties remain manageable. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT tools to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and track progress toward clear goals.
