01About Naomi
Naomi Durand-Kabasela helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood changes, and relationship strain. She works with adults who are trying to manage grief, trauma, parenting challenges, career shifts, or long-term health concerns. Naomi brings a direct and compassionate presence to sessions and aims to make each meeting practical and focused.
She trained as a medical doctor and holds LCPC and LPC credentials, and she has two decades of experience in clinical work.
Background and approach
Naomi frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens first, then shapes a plan around a person's strengths and daily life. Her approach draws on client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques.
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused ideas to help people change habits, manage strong emotions, and improve close relationships. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented. Naomi helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and then practices new ways of coping together.
She adapts the pace to each person's needs and focuses on skills that can be used between sessions. People looking for help with sleep problems, intimacy-related issues, ADHD challenges, or the stress of caregiving will find practical tools here. Naomi encourages small, steady steps and supports clients as they test new choices and build routines that fit their lives.

04Online support
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy starts by following the person's lead and building a relationship based on respect and empathy; it helps people clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping under stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi will talk with each person about their goals and lived experience, then recommend and try strategies together. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change during therapy.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video lets people work face-to-face when they prefer that format. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to send quick updates, practice skills between meetings, or check in when writing feels easier. These options aim to make ongoing care more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
