Naomi Kim, LPC

Naomi Kim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with 15 years of clinical experience. She draws on practical, skill-based therapies to help people manage stress, mood shifts, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Naomi uses clear, direct strategies so people can try new skills between sessions and see what helps in daily life.

Naomi’s background includes long-term work on an inpatient psychiatric unit and earlier roles supporting families and parenting concerns. That mix shaped a straightforward style that focuses on what a person can do next rather than on blame or long explanations. She emphasizes building self-esteem, improving decision-making, and strengthening communication skills.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, emotions, and actions connect, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete tools for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when a person wants focused change and clear next steps. Naomi also brings trauma-informed practices to sessions and avoids forcing memories or details that someone is not ready to address.

People who have faced addiction, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, or the stresses that come with change may find practical strategies in her work. Naomi also notes experience with veteran and armed forces issues, aging and caregiver stress, and mood disorders including bipolar and panic-related concerns.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Naomi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and then practice small behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many day-to-day concerns.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. DBT tools are practical and can be practiced between sessions to help with relationship stress and mood swings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them as needed, keeping the focus on usable steps and measurable progress.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit sessions into a break at work or between appointments. Online sessions can also allow a range of exercises - skill coaching, guided relaxation, and focused problem-solving - so practical techniques move into everyday life rather than staying in the therapy room.
