About Naomi

Naomi Durand-Kabasela centers her work on people seeking practical support for stress, anxiety, mood shifts, addiction challenges, relationship concerns, and ADHD. She brings two decades of clinical experience as a licensed psychotherapist and offers a collaborative, strengths-focused atmosphere where clients set the direction for change.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and interactive, blending evidence-based techniques with an emphasis on respect and compassion. Naomi draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs.

She adapts interventions to leverage clients' existing resources while addressing patterns that interfere with daily life. Based in Maryland, Naomi holds medical and counseling credentials and has worked across a broad range of issues including trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, career transitions, and caregiving stress.

Those ready to explore change will find a practitioner who values partnership, practical tools, and steady support during the process of growth and recovery.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Naomi commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and some addiction-related behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and building on a person's strengths so that goals and pacing reflect the client's values and readiness for change.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Naomi works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and practical. That collaborative stance helps shape a plan that fits both emotional goals and real-world constraints.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to engage when schedules are busy or travel is difficult. These formats allow ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and varied ways to communicate that can suit different comfort levels and life demands.
