About Naomi

Naomi Kim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Naomi’s work often addresses sleep and rest concerns alongside mood and stress-related issues.

She uses clear, hands-on strategies so clients can make small changes that add up. Naomi draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach distress tolerance and stronger boundaries.

Naomi has long experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic, and seasonal changes in mood. She has worked on an inpatient psychiatric unit and previously with an agency connected to Children and Youth Services, which gave her a lot of exposure to parenting and family communication challenges. That background informs how she helps people manage daily routines, relationships, and caregiving stress.

She describes herself as trauma informed and aims to avoid pressing clients about traumatic memories. Instead she focuses on present-moment skills, relaxation techniques, and practical steps to reduce distress. Naomi also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to support change and set achievable goals.

Naomi welcomes people who want clear tools for sleep, mood, and life transitions. She offers straightforward guidance, listening, and collaborative planning so clients can build better daily habits and clearer next steps.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Naomi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small, practical changes in behavior; it can be useful for sleep problems, anxiety, and low mood. DBT offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without making things worse.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals. Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work together - she will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and daily life.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit more easily into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Naomi aims to help clients build routines and habits that fit home and work life while using skills practice, goal-setting, and relaxation techniques adapted to remote appointments.
