About Naomi

Naomi Smith is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years in mental health. She provides therapy to individuals and focuses on helping people regain steadiness and confidence. Naomi aims to listen without judgment and to offer steady encouragement as clients work toward their goals.

She describes her approach simply as restoring peace one day at a time. Naomi favors person-centered planning that centers the client's choices and priorities. She encourages commitment to a personal plan and partners with people to break larger goals into manageable steps.

Naomi uses a mix of practical tools and reflective conversation. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas to help people recognize patterns and try new strategies. Sessions may include skill building for managing mood, problem solving around relationships, and work on impulse control and substance-related concerns.

Her practice includes a broad set of concerns such as depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem, and anger management. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, family conflict, issues around abandonment, and end-of-life or hospice related struggles.

Naomi works from a belief that change comes from within and that people have a purpose they can reclaim. She aims to be open and honest in communication and to guide clients toward a clearer, more hopeful future.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client's lead to set goals and priorities, which helps people find motivation and clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, useful for intense moods and impulse control issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Naomi will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, and she will adjust strategies as goals evolve. The work is aimed at steady, practical change rather than quick fixes.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or remove the need to be on camera if that feels better. Licensed professionals can use conversational sessions and structured skill practice in remote appointments, enabling ongoing progress while fitting therapy into daily routines.
