About Naomi

Naomi Silverman is a licensed master social worker practicing in Michigan who draws on 35 years of professional experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD. She emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs.

Background and approach

Naomi aims to make the first steps toward greater well-being feel manageable and supported rather than overwhelming. Her practice blends evidence-based techniques with empathic listening to address life transitions, motivation, and confidence challenges.

Naomi integrates approaches such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive and mindfulness strategies, and emotionally-focused work to help clients build practical skills and clearer perspectives. Her long clinical background informs a flexible style that adapts to changing circumstances and individual goals, offering steady guidance through difficult moments and opportunities for growth.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Naomi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her practice. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be helpful for stress, grief, and motivation struggles. CBT emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and building concrete behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Naomi works with each client to determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, and she adapts the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow people to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in care from different locations while working with a licensed professional.
