About Naomi
Naomi Smith helps people who are dealing with relationship challenges, parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports people facing grief, addiction, intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. Naomi is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - based in Florida and works with a wide range of life and career concerns.
Naomi keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first to understand what matters most, then helps people set small, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now and what could be changed to make daily life easier. Her approach draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and emotionally-focused work to address how people feel and interact with others. Naomi also uses client-centered and motivational strategies to build on a person's strengths and values.
These tools are adapted to each person rather than used the same way for everyone. Naomi trained in social work and holds a master’s degree in social work. She has three years of clinical experience and prior work in community and school settings.
That background informs her practical focus on problem-solving and building coping skills. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Naomi aims to create an environment where people can talk honestly, try new ways of responding, and notice small changes that add up over time.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small behavior changes to ease symptoms like depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and supports people in expressing needs and rebuilding connection when intimacy or relationship conflict is a focus.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Naomi will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their situation. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what helps most, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy lives. Video can support face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people share between sessions. These options give flexibility to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and day-to-day coping.
