Naomi Durand-Kabasela, LCPC, LPC

Naomi Durand-Kabasela is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the District of Columbia with 20 years of experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, career transitions, and attention differences. Naomi also lists other focus areas such as chronic illness, caregiver strain, and coping after loss or disruption.

Her approach is conversational and practical. Sessions focus on the concerns the person brings and on building skills that can be used between meetings. Naomi uses a mix of cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally focused ways of looking at relationships, and client-centered listening. She aims to work in a direct and respectful way that highlights what is already working in a person’s life.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and practice alternative responses to automatic reactions like snapping or shutting down. She often sets concrete goals and checks progress regularly. For people dealing with addiction or compulsive behaviors, she combines skills training with problem-solving around triggers and routines.

Naomi draws on a long clinical background that includes work with mood conditions, trauma, and addictive behaviors. Her experience includes supporting people through major life changes and caregiving challenges. She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients.
