About Naomi

Naomi Silverman is a licensed master social worker who brings 35 years of experience to supportive, practical therapy. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, motivation problems, and ADHD. Naomi writes treatment plans to fit each person's situation and respects the courage it takes to ask for help.

Clients can expect direct, down-to-earth conversations that focus on real-life change. Naomi uses clear tools and short exercises to tackle sleeping problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, career stresses, and parenting strain.

Background and approach

She also addresses caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, and challenges that come with aging. Her approach draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and make choices that match their values. She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused ways of working to build trust and deepen emotional understanding.

Sessions emphasize practical next steps more than abstract theory. Naomi helps people break big problems into small, doable actions and practices that can be tried between meetings. The tone is respectful, steady, and focused on what the client wants to change.

Based in Michigan, Naomi works with older adolescents, adults, and seniors. She offers conversation and planning tailored to each person's goals, whether that means improving sleep, coping with loss, managing ADHD-related challenges, or finding more balance in daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice the thoughts and feelings that get in the way of what matters and then take small, meaningful actions toward values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress, with practical exercises you can try between sessions to improve sleep, mood, and daily routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be helpful for stress, grief, and ADHD-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Naomi will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress and needs change. The aim is to find practical tools that feel useful in day-to-day life rather than insisting on one single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video is good for longer conversations and interactive exercises, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections and homework between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
