About Naomi

Naomi Durand-Kabasela is a therapist based in Maryland who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She works with people who want clear, practical support for day-to-day struggles and bigger life transitions. She draws on a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs.

Sessions focus on understanding emotions, building coping skills, and changing unhelpful patterns. Naomi uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral strategies to shape a plan that fits a person's life.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and interactive. Naomi aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while encouraging honest conversation. She asks where the person wants to go and helps map out steps to get there.

Naomi has practiced for about 20 years and holds MD, LCPC, and LPC credentials. That experience includes a wide range of concerns such as bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, sleeping problems, ADHD, and substance use challenges. In sessions she adapts techniques to strengths and goals.

That can mean skill-building from cognitive-behavioral therapy, emotion-focused work to repair connection, or mindfulness and grounding tools to manage stress. The emphasis is on practical change a person can use between appointments. People who want collaborative, straightforward help with emotional pain, coping, or life changes may find her approach helpful.

Naomi supports clients as they set goals, try new ways of relating, and work toward greater stability and meaning.

Online support

How emotion work and practical skills translate to online therapy

Naomi uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work through painful emotions and attachment patterns. That approach often looks like guided conversations that surface underlying feelings and help people try new ways of responding in relationships.

She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize listening and respect, and on cognitive-behavioral therapy which focuses on specific skills to change thinking and behavior. Client-centered work creates a safe space to talk, while CBT provides tools for anxiety, sleep, and mood management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. That might mean more emotion-focused sessions for relational pain, or more skills practice when managing stress and symptoms.

Online therapy with Naomi can be done by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and reading body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and brief check-ins suit busy schedules. Live chat and messaging support ongoing coaching, quick skill reminders, and shorter check-ins between sessions.
