Naomi Smith

Naomi Smith is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career questions, stress, and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, substance use concerns, low self-esteem, and sleep difficulties. Naomi’s approach is direct and practical, aimed at helping clients take small steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

Naomi brings three years of clinical practice as an LCSW and a longer background in social work settings. Her experience includes school environments and work with military populations, and she has supported people in situations involving adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. This background informs her sense of how life events affect routines, roles, and relationships.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and emotionally focused methods to address closeness and connection. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies also appear when goals need quick, workable steps.

Naomi favors straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. She helps people set realistic goals, try new behaviors between visits, and track what changes. Sessions are intended to feel practical and goal-oriented while keeping the person’s values in view.

Naomi practices in Florida and works in English. She sees clients who are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, or career decisions and who want a therapist who offers clear steps and steady support.

Therapy approaches that work online and in life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when feelings or worries get in the way. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to create better outcomes; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotions and patterns in close relationships and can help people improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client adjust strategies based on what actually helps.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and check in during a work break. It also lets people choose shorter or audio-only check-ins when that better fits their day or bandwidth. Licensed professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, but specific options should be verified ahead of scheduling.
