I always come back to Naomi whenever I'm in need, sometimes months go in between but she's always there for me when I most need her help working through things or helping me remember I'm safe and strong enough to handle intense anxiety. She's remarkable and helps me change my perspectives with kindness! ♡

More about Naomi

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Pennsylvania and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I am also a 14 year Air Force veteran. I started my adult life in Florida and have settled here in Pennsylvania after living in several states as well as a couple of years in South Korea. I have worked for the past 13 years on an inpatient psychiatric unit and have a vast experience with depression and anxiety and how they affect one's well being and self confidence. Prior to that I worked with an agency that worked closely Children and Youth Services and have gained much experience in working with family issues, parenting concerns, and communication challenges. I have also worked with adults with developmental disabilities and enjoy exploring what you can do as opposed to what you can't do.

I have experience using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help a person better understand the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behavior as well as the power of automatic thoughts. I can help you with issues of self esteem and confidence as well as helping you learn how to problem solve and make decisions more effectively. I have experience using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) which provides a person with concrete tools to help deal with interpersonal relationships and as well as helping to develop tolerance for distressful situations. I can help you learn how to say no to unwanted requests and develop healthy boundaries for yourself as well as learning the power of being able to realize what you can and cannot change and deal with the consequences. I am a trauma informed therapist and understand the need for a specialized approach to traumatic events and memories and so will not bring up or focus on those events in our interactions. I will work with you on relaxation techniques to help you get past the memories and focus on the moment. I am a military veteran and understand how hard it is to open up about some events and issues. And I understand how difficult it is for those around you who don't understand. I can be there for you.

I look forward to working with you as you face the crossroads in your life. I will be there for you. You are not alone.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Naomi is a kind, compassionate, and skilled counselor and I am very glad I was paired with her. Her unconditional willingness to work with wherever you may be and her total lack of judgment were instrumental in making me feel safe enough to really expose and work on the issues I was dealing with (largely stemming from "shutting down" any time I was stressed and black and white thinking; both due to past traumas and negative experiences as well as ADHD). At the same time, she recognized that I personally needed more than to just talk, and she was able to make suggestions and ask questions that were extremely helpful without ever making me feel judged or like I didn't want to talk about it anymore (normally a problem for me). Thank you Naomi!

When cv19 hit it sent me into panic mode. Unable to get help locally I turned to Betterhelp and I'm so glad I did. On and off I have worked with various mental health practitioners since I was a teen but nobody has been able to help me the way Naomi has, most just chuck medication at me until I feel numb. Despite being in a differant continent Naomi has supported me through several things that would normally have me shutting myself off; from being unable to work to health diagnoses, applying for and starting university to navigating and rebuilding my life after being widowed . Each issue or problem Naomi's calm guidance and way of breaking things down has meant I have been empowered to handle things. Other people have noticed a positive change in me. I have been able to start saying no to people rather than trying to do everything, more importantly for me Naomi has shown me how to stop many of the negative thought spirals which has far lessened the fear and panic. So a, huge thank you.
