Naomi Blake , LMHC

Naomi Blake is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and women's issues. She brings 17 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings. Naomi aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients are heard and guided toward clearer coping strategies.

She works collaboratively to identify immediate needs and realistic goals. Naomi uses straightforward techniques to change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. She also draws on mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing to support lasting behavior change.

Naomi has experience across inpatient, residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings. That background means she is familiar with both short-term crisis work and longer-term therapeutic change. She has helped people with mood disorders, substance use, trauma, grief, and co-occurring conditions.

In sessions, Naomi keeps the focus on what the client wants to achieve. She listens without judgment and tailors tools to each person’s situation. Common work includes reducing panic and anxiety, addressing patterns that fuel low self-esteem, and building skills for healthier communication.

Her training includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling, and she is a doctoral candidate. Naomi uses these foundations to balance evidence-based strategies with a client-centered attitude that respects each person’s pace and values.

Approach to online therapy and evidence-based tools

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions; it can be useful for intimacy, attachment issues, and communication challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention exercises to reduce stress and increase emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi collaborates with clients to match methods to their goals and preferences. She may blend techniques so the plan fits daily life, and she checks in regularly to adjust what isn’t working.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging let clients share brief updates or check-ins between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
