Naomi Kim, LPC

Naomi Kim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings 15 years of counseling experience and a background as a 14-year Air Force veteran to her work. Naomi focuses on helping people who struggle with mood and stress-related concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, and issues that come with aging and caregiving.

Naomi uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies help with decision-making and making practical changes.

Her clinical history includes many years on an inpatient psychiatric unit, where she worked with people facing severe mood issues and crises. Earlier work involved collaboration with child welfare systems and supporting parents with communication and family stress. Naomi also has experience with adults who have developmental disabilities and looks for practical ways forward.

In sessions she teaches relaxation and grounding skills that aim to reduce distressing memories and improve day-to-day functioning. She helps people set boundaries, strengthen self-esteem, and tackle sleep or addiction concerns with step-by-step plans. Naomi also supports people dealing with grief, isolation, and finding purpose later in life.

Naomi works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

How Naomi’s approaches translate to online care

Naomi often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT focuses on clear steps - identify thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors - which can be practiced between sessions for problems like anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete coping skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. DBT supplies short, practical tools such as distress tolerance and boundaries that people can use in daily life. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes; it uses questions and reflection to uncover what matters and build commitment.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Naomi will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts strategies as needed, keeping the work practical and focused on real-life results.
