About Naomi
Naomi Kim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of clinical experience. She also served 14 years in the Air Force and brings that background into her work. Naomi helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and related concerns such as relationship stress and parenting strain.
Naomi has extensive inpatient psychiatric experience, mainly treating mood and anxiety disorders and their impact on daily life. She explains how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and she teaches practical ways to interrupt unhelpful thinking patterns. That work often focuses on building confidence, solving problems, and improving decision making.
She uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete tools for handling intense emotions and for setting boundaries. Naomi also applies motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people find workable next steps and stay motivated. For trauma-related issues she follows a trauma-informed approach and avoids pressing clients to relive painful memories.
Naomi has experience with parenting and family concerns from earlier agency work that partnered with Children and Youth Services. She has also supported adults with developmental disabilities, emphasizing what clients can do rather than limits. Her military background gives additional perspective on the difficulties of opening up about certain events.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She works with people on skills they can use between sessions, such as relaxation exercises and distress-tolerance techniques. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to map out priorities together.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Naomi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on practical steps like testing thoughts, scheduling tasks, and learning coping exercises that can be practiced between sessions.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are concrete and practiceable, which makes them suitable for remote work where the emphasis is on do-able exercises and short skill reviews. Naomi uses motivational interviewing to help people commit to small, realistic changes when motivation is low.
Finding which approach fits best is part of the work. Naomi will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, current needs, and how someone responds to early sessions. That decision is flexible and can be adjusted over time.

Online work can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and enabling regular follow-ups that keep skills fresh between appointments. These practical benefits often make it easier to practice new tools and track progress over time.
