Naomi Smith , LCSW

Naomi Smith is an LCSW who focuses on women's issues and relationship concerns. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, parenting stress, grief, addiction struggles, and problems with intimacy. Naomi works with clients on practical steps for daily life. She uses clear language and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.

Naomi trained in social work and brings three years of licensed clinical practice to her sessions. She also has broader experience from social work roles in schools and military-related settings before licensure. That background informs how she approaches family, adoption and foster care topics, and caregiver stress.

Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. Naomi listens first, then helps people set small, achievable steps. She blends approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance strategies to address thinking patterns and actions that get in the way of feeling better.

Sessions may include talking through relationship or parenting challenges, building tools for handling anger or sleep problems, and planning for major life transitions. Naomi also uses motivational interviewing ideas when someone needs help finding their own reasons to change.

People who choose her can expect straightforward feedback, homework that fits daily life, and a focus on what the person wants to be different. Naomi practices in Florida and works with English-speaking clients, including those located internationally.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, life changes, and issues with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and mood regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Naomi will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people maintain visual connection for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and for people who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
