About Naomi

Naomi Smith is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Florida with three years listed experience. She helps people facing relationship strains, family and parenting challenges, stress and anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, and other common life difficulties.

Naomi draws on several practical approaches to make sessions straightforward. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and accept difficult feelings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters most to each person.

In sessions she keeps the work concrete. People can expect to talk through recent events, try small changes between meetings, and practice ways to handle conflict or overwhelming emotions. Conversations often include problem solving around parenting, setting boundaries, or coping with a major life change.

Her background includes social work training at the master’s level and time working in settings that involved schools, military-related supports, and child welfare. That experience informs how she thinks about family systems and caregiver strain.

Naomi accepts people from different places, and she conducts sessions in English. Anyone interested is asked to confirm session options before booking so they understand the current ways she meets with people.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, parenting strain, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily routines. It is commonly applied to anxiety, sleep issues, depression, and anger. Client‑Centered Therapy centers on the person’s priorities and uses reflective conversation to help them find their own solutions and build confidence.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Naomi will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or evening routine, shorten travel time, and allow quick check‑ins when stress spikes. Others prefer a longer, scheduled meeting to focus on parenting plans or relationship conversations. Confirm the available formats when you sign up so sessions match your day-to-day needs.
