Naomi integrates evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Motivational Interviewing to address each person’s goals. She offers services in English and accepts both local and international clients through a range of online and remote session formats.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Naomi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and build psychological flexibility. ACT focuses on accepting difficult emotions while taking meaningful steps toward what matters, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration. This method creates space for clients to explore their concerns about relationships, identity, and self-esteem at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach Naomi employs, helping clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Naomi works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies collaboratively as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and to access licensed professionals in ways that suit each client’s routine and needs.
