Naomi Silverman, LMSW

Naomi Silverman is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. She draws on 35 years of experience to offer steady, practical support. Naomi aims to meet people where they are and to help them take the next steps toward feeling better.

Naomi uses straightforward talk and active listening to shape each session. She adapts the pace and activities to fit what a person needs in the moment. That can mean working on coping skills, shifting unhelpful thoughts, or practicing new ways of communicating with others.

Her work includes helping people with sleep problems, parenting challenges, career stress, compassion fatigue, and attention concerns. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related topics, blended family issues, caregiving strain, chronic illness and pain, and concerns that come with aging.

Naomi draws on several well-known approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods. She also uses mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas to help people notice feelings and try new responses.

Sessions are shaped around each person's goals, values, and daily life. Naomi describes therapy as a collaborative process where small steps build toward meaningful change. Her style is respectful, warm, and practical.

How Naomi’s approaches work in online sessions

Naomi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, then practice different ways of responding to stress and anxiety. CBT is useful for tackling sleep problems, low mood, and unhelpful thought habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify what matters to them and to take small, value-driven steps even when feelings are uncomfortable; this can help with grief, life transitions, and chronic stress.

She also draws on client-centered ideas that focus on respectful listening and following the client's lead. Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. Naomi works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily routines so therapy feels useful and doable.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, chat or text can support brief check-ins and ongoing skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
