How mindfulness and practical therapies translate online
Naomi uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice moment-to-moment thoughts and physical sensations, which can reduce reactivity and ease anxiety. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building trust, letting clients set the pace and goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for mood, anxiety, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Naomi will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit. Clients often mix mindfulness, skills practice, and person-centered exploration as they find what helps most.
If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people practice skills between sessions in real-life settings. Discuss your schedule and needs during the matching process to find a set-up that works for you.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
