Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Naomi Durand-Kabasela draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping distress in place, then practicing practical skills to support healthier responses in day-to-day life. This approach is often used for concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which emphasizes skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be especially helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or who want more tools for managing conflict and impulsive reactions. Client-Centered Therapy is another foundation of her work, creating space for clients to feel heard while therapy stays aligned with their values, goals, and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Naomi works collaboratively with clients to shape a plan that fits their needs, preferences, and what they want from therapy over time.

Online therapy with Naomi can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a format that fits work, family demands, and changing schedules.
