How Naomi's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a plan around what matters to the person. It helps people find their own solutions and boosts confidence through supportive conversation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises and practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It often includes skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors the mix of strategies based on what a person needs and what feels useful in daily life.
