Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape close connections and daily choices; online sessions use conversation and targeted exercises to notice and shift patterns that cause distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters and taking values-based steps, often using short practices and homework that fit remote formats. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and uses empathic listening to help people feel heard and make their own choices.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Naomi will collaborate with clients to decide which approaches suit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting techniques over time, and keeping sessions practical and goal-focused.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share brief updates, try short exercises, or get support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules, long commutes, or situations where in-person sessions are difficult.
