About Naomi
Naomi Smith, LCSW, helps people who are juggling relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She writes plainly and listens carefully to figure out practical next steps. Her work often focuses on day-to-day challenges like coping with grief, managing anger, and finding balance during big changes.
Naomi earned her Master of Social Work at Clark Atlanta University and brings three years of clinical practice as an LCSW. Before that, she spent many years in social work roles across schools, military-related settings, and child welfare. That wider background informs a straightforward, problem-solving approach in sessions.
She uses a mix of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. In practice this means talking through unhelpful patterns, trying small experiments between sessions, and focusing on values and concrete steps. Sessions tend to emphasize skills people can use at home, at work, and with family.
Naomi aims for a calm, direct style. She helps parents manage discipline and behavior concerns, and she supports people working through adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, divorce, and family conflict. She also addresses substance use, trauma, and relationship intimacy problems.
Based in Florida, Naomi conducts work in English and accepts international clients. Her approach is collaborative: she and the person seeking help figure out goals together and pick practical strategies that fit day-to-day life.
Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and then take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and stress when someone wants concrete, value-driven goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms like insomnia or anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and aims to create a respectful space where someone can talk through issues and build their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Naomi works collaboratively to match techniques to a person’s goals, needs, and day-to-day routine. Early sessions typically focus on what feels most urgent and then try approaches that fit the person’s preferences and responses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, and let someone do skill practice in the settings where problems occur. Therapists can use ACT and CBT exercises in remote sessions just as they do in person, and a client-centered conversation can be effective through a variety of communication methods. Ask about format options when scheduling so sessions match your daily schedule and technical needs.
