Naomi Smith is an LCSW who helps people manage relationship strain, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Naomi practices with directness and warmth to help families and individuals find practical next steps.

Naomi earned her master’s degree in social work from Clark Atlanta University. The biography notes a background in social work and clinical roles in varied settings, including schools and military-related contexts. Her experience covers work with child abuse and neglect cases and counseling for adults on family and couples concerns.

In sessions Naomi combines several evidence-based approaches. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take manageable action. Client-Centered principles guide her to listen first and respond to each person’s needs.

Naomi has three years of documented clinical experience and additional social work background described in her biography. She works with concerns such as parenting, divorce and separation, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and veteran and armed forces issues among others. The biography lists Florida as her location and notes she speaks English.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. Naomi aims to help people leave sessions with small, doable steps. She supports exploration of emotional patterns while also working toward immediate coping skills and clearer communication.

How Naomi’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for coping with life changes, anxiety, and depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing small experiments to change them, which can help with sleep problems, stress, and mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and building a trusting relationship so people can explore their concerns at their own pace.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Naomi will work with each person to decide which methods make sense based on their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay focused on what is helpful right now.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can still use the same ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered tools through remote sessions, and Naomi aims to adapt exercises so they work in the setting you choose.
